The secret of Nokian tires success

Officially speaking, Nokian Tires or the original version Nokian Renkaat is the largest tire manufacturer in Scandinavia and one of the most successful in the world. Nokian maintains leadership in the industry primarily through its constant striving to be at the forefront of progress and make the best tires for northern conditions.

At first, the Nokian manufacturer produced only summer car tires, since at that time there was no such thing as a “winter” tire. All the year-round, the cars drove on the same tires, which in the cold and snowy Finnish winter was a certain inconvenience. And it was here that the Finns surpassed their teachers by offering the world new technologies of their own design.

The north expertise for the best snow tires

In the middle of the last century, there was a period of rapid growth and expansion of the Nokian company, including the conquest of markets outside Scandinavia. In this, the Finns were helped by the sensation that their winter tires caused during the rally in Monte Carlo. Cars with Finnish winter tires, driven by Finnish pilots, turned out to be invincible on snow-covered tracks.

World’s record  — fastest on ice!

208.602 mph — that was a speed reached by test driver Janne Laitinen on a high-performance car Audi RS6 with Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 tires. The world record was set on the ice of the Bothnian Bay, the northernmost part of the Baltic Sea. By the way, you can watch an amazing video about it (enjoy the Finnish language while watching :), although, there are English subtitles):

Incredible technologies of Nokian tires

The Nokian plant is extremely automated and manual labor is practically not used, which guarantees the high quality of the products. At the same time, the manufacturer "Nokian" undergoes a double quality control for each tire produced: the check is carried out by both automatic equipment and a living person.

Aramid Sidewalls — world record fastest car on 2 wheels!

The technology creates a robust inner tire structure with aramid-reinforced sidewalls that will provide stable handling in busy city traffic as well as on rocky country roads. Aramid Sidewalls were used, for example, for the Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV.

The new world record for the fastest car on two wheels was measured at Seinäjoki Airport on 31 August 2016. The tires on the record-breaking car had been reinforced with Nokian Tyres Aramid Sidewall technology. 

Retractable studs — shows up when it needs

Studdable or studded? Something completely different! The Nokian tires company came up with the first tire with retractable studs. With a press of a button, the driver can bring out the studs to improve the grip of the tire. When the studs are not needed, they can be retracted back into the tire.

Blade Grooves — feathers way for water drainage

Aggressive Blade Grooves significantly accelerate water drainage from the contact area, increase the tire's resistance to aquaplaning and its stability on wet road surfaces.

Cryo Crystal 3 — no worries about flaws of the road

A solid particle called Cryo Crystal 3 is added to the rubber compound, which is assigned the role of spikes. The rubber compound, combined with the tread pattern, helps to damp shocks and vibrations that can be caused by potholes and rutting.

Centipede Siping — 3D guards against the snow

It is a three-dimensional siping system, allowing the tire to work effectively in all directions in the presence of snow and slush on the roads.
