Nokian Tyres Nordman Solstice Asymmetric 235/50R18 97V All Weather Tire

Nokian Nordman Solstice Asymmetric. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Fuel efficient performance; Enhanced controllability; . OVERVIEW: The Nokian Nordman Solstice Asymmetric is a performance, all weather tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire promotes excellent all weather traction. The asymmetric tread design and special compound increase the tires dry, wet, and winter performance. The angled block placement and center ribs feature a high number of zigzag sipes, which provide biting edges. Stronger compound elements keep the rubber flexible in changing conditions. The treads straight and zigzag circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning as they channel water and slush away from the footprint.This better traction effectively lowers driving pressure levels affecting the tire. This is achieved, as the traction avoids heat build-up, lessening the tires rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure that regulates the vehicles needed fuel consumption levels. Reducing it minimizes fuel usage and CO2 emissions, which ensures a fuel-conscious driving experience.The Nordman Solstice Asymmetric maintains its road contact with the center ribs and continuous block placement. This boosts the tires steering responsiveness and driving stability, guaranteeing the vehicles safer controllability. Additionally, the shoulder blocks provide extra biting edges, which optimizes its cornering power. The sipes and groove placement create friction, significantly shortening the tires overall braking distance.All weather tires receive the three mountain peak and snowflake (3PMS) symbol for their exceptional winter weather performance. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee safer year-round durability. This ensures their true and secure driving ability throughout the year. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
