Nokian Powerproof is a premium summer tyre that meets the needs of sports car owners with great capabilities. To do this, the Finnish brand spent four years developing new formulas and technologies. The goal was to create tyres that will perfectly cope with diverse European conditions. The outcome of their work was subject to extreme tests, carried out not only in laboratories, but also on tracks in Germany and Spain.
In summer, European weather requires tyres to work efficiently on both dry and wet surfaces as well as adaptation to different temperatures. The construction of the tread - in this case, refined in every detail - is extremely important in this perspective. Not only does it look great, it also affects the excellent grip of the vehicle - even at higher speeds.
Precision guidance - achieved by reinforcing the outer shoulders and the specific construction of grooves in the central part. The tyres respond quickly to steering commands, thanks to which you have full control over the car.
-
Resistance to aquaplaning - external cuts cooperate with the central ribs and trapezoidal grooves to efficiently drain water from under the wheels. As a result, even during dynamic maneuvering, the car is stable and stays on track.
Behind the above-average properties of the model there are also rubber compounds, the use of which in various areas allowed for precise extraction of the desired parameters.
-
Dynamic Grip - is a mixture in which molecular chains and polymers play a special role. This innovative solution makes the tyres work perfectly with the surface, providing the best grip. At the same time, it extends the life of the model.
-
Clinch - a mixture applied around the tyre's bead. It affects the increase of general driving comfort as well as reduced rolling resistance.
Nokian Tyres is a brand known for its tyres, which work well even in the most extreme weather conditions. Although the company is famous for its pioneering winter tyre solutions, its summer proposals are equally innovative and well received by the automotive world.
