Nordman North 9

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Winter-weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Upgraded driving durability

OVERVIEW

The Nordman North 9 is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.

Excellent winter-weather traction is promoted with this tire. The directional tread design and its special siping placement firmly grip the road surface in severe winter conditions, while the compound elements maintain the rubber flexible in freezing temperatures. The angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning to increase wet traction.

Great controllability is improved with this tread design. The directional tread design maintains road contact at all times. They boost the tire’s steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the tire improves the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. This increases the cornering power as well. The shoulder block pattern enhances cornering and maneuvering capabilities. As a result, the tire greatly boosts the driver’s control over the vehicle at all times.

The Nordman North 9 ensures a safe high speed performance. The ideal tread design closely follows the road surface even at high speeds and prevents pressure accumulation, while the robust internal structure maintains the optimal tire shape under driving pressure. Also, the heat-resistant compound protects the tire from heat build-up along the tread area, further optimizing the tire’s high speed performance. This improves driving durability.
