Winter Weather Performance

Priority Tire offers a wide range of winter tires for sale. Our lineup for passenger vehicles and SUVs holds Nokian’s Nordman 7 among its ranks. We sell this model with and without studs added to its tread area. This model increases the winter traction, hydroplaning resistance, controllability and driving comfort levels with the optimal directional tread design.

Winter tires use their tread design and winter compound to enhance the winter weather traction. The tread design and winter compound work together to boost the cold temperature, dry, wet and snow traction and grip throughout their performance.

The Nordman 7 upgrades the winter traction with the optimal directional pattern and winter compound. The tread’s detailed pattern increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, while the tread blocks maintain the tire’s surface contact at all times. The winter compound manages to keep the rubber flexibility in versatile conditions, especially in colder temperatures. 

This tire is pinned for studs. When the studs are added to the tread area, they improve the ice and snow grip throughout the tire’s performance. Priority Tire offers these tires for sale in both their studdable and studded forms.

The tread design’s detailed groove pattern upgrades the hydroplaning resistance. The zigzag directional and angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, improving the tire’s surface contact throughout the drive. This actively prevents hydroplaning, which is a dangerous road hazard. 

Hydroplaning happens when water and slush stuck on the road surface cuts off the tire’s road contact, causing the vehicle to skid. This makes the driver lose control over the vehicle, which can lead to accidents. By avoiding hydroplaning, the tire boosts the wet and winter weather performing security.

Controllability and Handling

Tires must offer excellent handling over the vehicle to ensure high levels of driving safety while they are in motion. Their tread design and durable internal structure are utilized by manufacturers to guarantee a secure controllability in winter weather.

The Nordman 7 upgrades its handling with the directional tread design’s constant surface contact. The tire’s tread pattern increases the grip on the road surface, providing the enhanced driving safety levels in the process. This upgrades the model’s steering responsiveness and driving stability as the tire maintains its surface contact. In other words, the tire upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s instructions, while it secures the structural stability while the models are in motion, which improves the driver’s control over the vehicle.

The detailed directional tread design also upgrades the model’s braking ability. The high-density siping pattern heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road surface while the tires are in motion. The tread pattern, in this manner, creates friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, which greatly decreases the braking distance. As a result, the tire increases the braking power and offers a safer performing ability.

High Driving Comfort Levels

Even winter tires can offer excellent comfort levels during their performance. Winter models utilize their tread design and optimal surface contact to minimize the road disturbances felt in the vehicle’s cabin during the vehicle’s performance.

The tread design of the Nordman 7 enables it to closely follows the road surface during the drive. The close and constant surface contact enables the model to absorb the shock of driving. In this manner, the tire significantly decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin, before they can dampen the passengers’ driving enjoyment. This upgrades the winter weather driving comfort by ensuring an enjoyable driving experience throughout the drive.
