Manufacturer's description

The Nokian WR G4, developed specifically for the North American market, is the fourth generation in the WR series of all-season tires.

The WR G4 offers stable handling and short stopping distances, making it a premium choice for drivers facing diverse weather conditions. It incorporates proprietary technologies from Nokian, a Finnish tire maker renowned for its innovations in tire performance and environmental sustainability.

Features & Benefits

  • Coanda Technology: This technology and the inner shoulder’s fan-like rib pattern with functional tread blocks and Blade Grooves efficiently route rain, snow, and slush away from the contact surface, enhancing hydroplaning resistance and stability on wet pavement.

  • Nokian WRG4 All-Weather Rubber Compound: Offers extra traction and extends tread life, ensuring consistent performance throughout the tire's lifespan.
  • Silent Sidewall Technology: A special rubber compound between the sidewalls and the tread reduces noise and vibrations, enhancing the driving experience by making it more comfortable and enjoyable.
