Nokian One HT is a heavy-duty extra sturdy premium tire engineered to be used in any weather conditions on SUVs and light trucks both in and outside the city. This tire ensures dependable traction and maneuverability on dry, wet, and slippery surfaces, as well as confident handling on light snow and ice. A new model 2020, focused predominantly on the North American market.

The Nokian One HT model is a result of exacting tests that were conducted by the tire make all over the world. Its prototypes were tested on the dirt tracks of South Africa, scorching roads of Texas, the mountains of Utah, and urban roads of California.

In addition, the tires got “battle-hardened” on the manufacturer’s Ivalo test facility in Finland. The result of these tests are the tire’s sturdiness, high safety level, and long treadlife, as well as groundbreaking innovations, such as Aramid Armor, which increase the tire’s resistance to tear and puncture.

The stones stuck in the tread grooves may eventually tear up the tire. They can also get dislodged during the driving and damage the windshield of the car that is driving behind you. To prevent such incidents, the Nokian One HT tire is equipped with stone ejectors placed at the bottoms of the drainage grooves.

The Aramid Sidewall technology provides secure protection from potholes and other obstacles that are to be encountered during the urban driving, as well as off-road, says the technical expert of Shina Guide. The Aramid fibers, also used in the Aerospace & Defense industry, are inbuilt into the tire’s sidewalls, helping it to tackle the harshest of road conditions.

One HT became the company’s first model to utilize the Aramid Armor technology. In addition to the Aramid Sidewall technology utilized by most of the tire’s sizes, Aramid Armor reinforces the light truck (LT) version of this tire. The basic compound underneath the tread is also Aramid-reinforced, which creates a puncture-resistant shield, protecting the tire from the road hazards. This innovation significantly contributes to increasing the tire’s treadlife.

The Nokian One HT tread pattern increases the tire’s handling response and grip on wet pavement, as well as boosts the braking performance. The zigzagging lamellas and tread elements named Grip Claws increase the tire’s grip and stability in winter conditions. The tire bears an “M+S” sign; it was tested in arctic conditions, which guarantees confident driving in mild winter weather.

The rubber compound with low rolling resistance supports environmentally friendly driving thanks to the reduction of fuel consumption.
