The Nokian WR SUV 3 is a winter tyre designed especially for 4x4 vehicles and SUVs. Its directional tread means that it delivers superb handling in changeable winter conditions and outstanding performance on any type of road.
The dense network of blades and silica-enhanced winter rubber compound guarantee driving stability and outstanding grip, even at high speeds. The tyre's innovative systems include Snow Claws, which offer superlative grip on snow and ice.
The polished transverse grooves and optimised tread pattern efficiently disperse water from under the tyre and prevent aquaplaning.
The directional tread improves driving comfort, and the longitudinal central rib offers driving stability both on dry roads and on snow, slush and ice. The stabilisers on the sides of the tread next to the longitudinal ribs and central rib provide additional rigidity, and the three-dimensional tread lock blades improve drivability and ensure line holding stability not only on straight roads, but also during sudden manoeuvres and when going round corners. Efficient and rapid dispersal of water and slush is guaranteed by a strong arrow-like tread pattern, deep transverse grooves and polished main grooves, which deliver the necessary grip regardless of the weather. The compound used to manufacture the Nokian WR SUV 3 offers guaranteed resistance to wear at any temperature, ensuring that the tyre can achieve a full range of performance values for even longer.
