Nokian Tyres is to launch a winter tyre that achieves A in wet grip and fuel efficiency according to the EU tyre labelling system.

The Nokian WR SUV 3 winter tyre, in size 265/50 R19V, can reduce braking distances by up to 18 metres on wet roads. 

The winter tyre from the pioneer in winter safety and eco-friendly driving is excellently suited for versatile use on different sports utility vehicles, such as the Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7, BMW X5, Volkswagen Amarok, Volkswagen Touareg, Mercedes Benz ML, Jeep Grand Cherokee or Volvo XC60.

“Like the car manufacturers, our own product development is also focused on making transport safer and greener. We accepted a tough technological challenge. The new Nokian WR SUV 3 is the absolute state of the art in the tyre industry; it represents a new way of thinking that drivers can enjoy here and now,” said product development manager Olli Seppälä from Nokian Tyres.

“SUV drivers who enjoy the European autobahns can rely on the handling of the new product even at higher speeds, since the construction of the Nokian WR SUV 3 is very robust and sturdy,” Seppälä explained. 

The same technology will also be utilised in Nokian Tyres’ other winter tyres in the future.
