- High speed durability
- Fuel efficient drive
- Reduced road vibrations
OVERVIEW
The Nokian WR SUV 3 is a high performance winter tire manufactured for sport utility and 4x4 vehicles.
The tire promotes first-rate winter weather traction and it has received the three mountain peak and snowflake symbol that guarantees its excellent performing capability in the harshest winter weather. The tire's special silica and canola oil based tire compound and optimized, arrow-shaped tread pattern work together to ensure great cold temperature dry, wet, ice and snow traction and road gripping capability. The tread design's circumferential and swooping grooves actively avoid hydroplaning situations by eliminating water and slush from beneath the tire footprint. The enhanced hydroplaning resistance and the enhanced winter traction guarantee a more secure winter weather driving experience.
The model's offers excellent controllability in all winter weather conditions. The tread design sports Groove Lifts on the tread blocks and 3D Lock Sipes that stabilize the tread area. As they prevent tread flexing the tire is able to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the surface area. This boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability greatly, allowing the driver to confidently control the vehicle in the most severe conditions. The tire is also capable of high speed performance as it maintains its optimal tire shape. The sidewall compound features aramid fibers that strengthen it against the driving pressure and against punctures. As a result, the tire is reinforced for all winter weather and high speed driving.
The special tire compound blend of canola oil and silica increase the tire's fuel efficiency. They lower the tire's rolling resistance by increasing its traction. The rolling resistance is the pressure affecting the tire that determines how much energy the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. The decreased rolling resistance reduces the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions greatly, offering a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience.
The WR SUV 3 promotes a comfortable drive. The tread pattern closely follows the road surface thanks to the excellent traction and the maintained optimal tire shape. The constant road contact prevents road vibrations from forming during the drive, which makes the driving experience more enjoyable.
