Nokian WR Snowproof



Manufacturer's description

Features & Benefits

  • Alpine Sense Grip Concept: Adapts to various winter conditions, ensuring consistent traction and control. Each tread block and sipe is designed to enhance grip on snowy, slushy, and wet roads.
  • Snow Claws: Integrated into the tread's longitudinal and transverse grooves, these elements enhance traction on loose and packed snow, as well as on ice-covered surfaces.
  • Brake Boosters: Positioned on the rear edges of the tread blocks, these elements increase the tire's contact patch, improving braking performance on snow.
  • Wide Central Rib: Provides additional stiffness, enhancing the vehicle's road-holding ability and stabilizing the tire at high speeds.
  • Polished Drainage Grooves: Efficiently evacuate snow, water, and slush from the contact area, preventing slushplaning and maintaining grip.
  • Silent Sidewall Technology: Features a special zone on the tire sidewall that reduces road noise and vibrations, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable ride.
  • Alpine Grip Rubber Compound: Enhances traction on wet pavement, extends the tire's wear resistance, and reduces rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency.

Very good price-quality ratio of the tires. Driving on a dry surface is faultless, they are quiet and hold well to the surface, both in the city and on the road. The real test of winter durability of the tires was carried out in January and February 2021. They have been tested in very difficult conditions: snow-covered, icy, with slush, forest roads (where snow throwers do not look). The tires worked great, they stuck to the road very well, the braking was flawless, they did not slip. Steep climbs and curves were also done without any problems. The tires are quiet when it comes to fuel consumption, it has not increased dramatically even in winter conditions. I hope the tires will perform the same in the coming years. I definitely recommend it.

Very effective in all weather conditions, quiet. This winter offers very good conditions to find out about the quality of the tires and I was not disappointed. Indifferent, deep snow kicked in, deep frozen snow, ice stuck, slush, wet asphalt, dry asphalt, temperatures below -20 degrees C, never once was there any embarrassing situation. With my moderate driving style, I am sure that the WR Snowproof still has enough capacity to drive even dynamically and not exhaust them. I definitely recommend that the parameters of the premium segment at a very affordable price surpass the much more expensive products of renowned manufacturers.
