Summer tyres 2014

Safety for the demanding summer conditions from the inventor of the first winter tyre

Nokian Tyres invented and manufac-

tured the first winter tyre, Kelirengas

(“weather tyre”), in 1934. The predeces-

sor of the legendary Hakkapeliitta was

developed to be used on lorries on poor-

ly ploughed winter roads. The grooved

tread pattern of the tyre worked on

snowy roads, thereby making snow

chains obsolete.

Nokian Tyres is also a bold leader in environ-

mental friendliness. In 2005, we were the

first tyre manufacturer in the world to intro-

duce purified, low-aromatic oils to tyre man-

ufacturing. More recently, we have focused

strongly on reducing the rolling resistance

of our tyres.

When a tyre rolls on a road surface, it creates friction known as

rolling resistance. The higher the rolling resistance, the greater

the fuel consumption. The right choice of tyres will lower fuel

consumption and as a result, reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

You can have an impact on your tyre tracks by making sure

your tyres are in good condition, that the tyre pressure is cor-

rect, and by driving smartly, i.e. defensively, economically and

courteously.

What kind of tyre tracks do you want to leave behind?

Since the beginning, our careful testing and devel-

opment has been leading the way towards safer and

eco-friendlier tyres. Our experience in manufacturing

the world’s most awarded winter tyres, the Nokian Hak-

kapeliittas, also guarantees your safety when using our

advanced summer tyre range.

The ever-changing driving conditions of the north have

taught us that summer tyres must be safe to drive from

the budding of spring to the wet leaves of autumn, on

dry and wet asphalt and uneven dirt roads alike. The

extensive Nokian range offers you the choice of reliable

and durable tyres that will suit your car’s properties and

your driving habits.

Nokian zLineCool Performer.

Nokian zLine summer tyre is tailored for fast driving. It belongs to the UHP (ultra high performance) category, the top class for passenger car tyres. The sporty Nokian zLine excels under extreme conditions and is not afraid of changing road conditions or large temperature changes.

Large and powerful urban SUVs demand a lot

from tyres. In response to motorists’ wish-

es a tyre was born which is exceptionally

consistent to drive, rolls easily and is still

extremely strong. Nokian Z SUV, designed

for high speed categories, is available up to

22 inches and, as well as a stylish exterior,

offers a host of innovations which improve

driving stability in extreme conditions. The

tyre stays cool and responds to the driver’s

wishes immediately on all road surfaces.

Ą Tailor-made durability for SUVs

Ą Excellent grip even in extreme conditions

Ą Efficient power

Your powerful SUV puts a lot of demands on

tyres. Especially, if you take your car occa-

sionally out of the urban streets. Nokian HT

SUV is exceptionally hard wearing and strong

but still reacts immediately and accurately to

steering. Although the tyre is at its best on

asphalt, it also functions excellently off the

main roads, covered in sand and gravel. Fol-

lowing our principles of durable safety, the

tyre properties are consistent throughout its

working life.

Ą Durable construction for a long lifetime

Ą Precise and sturdy road response

Ą Good grip on both wet and dry roads across at all temperatures

Nokian Z SUV – Easy rolling superiority. Nokian HT SUV – Durable SUV tyre for the rough road.

Power and comfort for demanding SUV usePowerful four-wheel drive vehicles pose more de-

mands on tyres in terms of both performance and

structure. SUV tyres must have a precise driving feel,

and they must withstand higher wheel loads and

work reliably under extreme speeds. Drivers also

require that the tyres are comfortable and quiet like

passenger car tyres.

Nokian Tyres offers a wide and versatile selection

of safe summer tyres that have been especially de-

signed and optimised for demanding SUV use.

Nokian Tyres’ SUV tyres offer the following features: Ą A body structure that is tailor-made

for higher axle loads

Ą Higher load-bearing capability

Ą A puncture proof sidewall compound

Ą A special tread compound that guarantees good driving stability

Ą Structural solutions in both the body structure and the tread pattern improve the driving feel

Extreme conditions are not overcome by fantasy but by ideas tested in practice.

Low rolling resistanceThe more easily a tyre rolls, the less fuel it consumes and the fewer C02 emissions it generates. A 40% difference in rolling resistance transforms into an approximately 6% difference in fuel consumption, which is immediately felt in your purse.

Wave grooveThe centre groove is supported by a wave-like pattern called the wave groove. It improves the lateral stability of the tyre, which reduces the risk of aquaplaning.

Mud stopperThe mud stopper prevents sand and mud from getting caught between the rim and the tyre and extends the service life of the tyre and rim.

Swoop GroovesThe Swoop Grooves effectively prevent aquaplaning. The elliptical slots on the transversal grooves on the outer shoulder store more water, as the volume of the transversal grooves increases. This improves the aquaplaning resistance characteristics.

Single wire beadThe single wire bead structure ensures the durability of the tyre even with hard use.

Information fieldThe location and pressure indicators on the sidewall information area improve safety. The information area allows for recording the correct inflation pressure and installation location during tyre change.

Aquaplaning indicatorWhen the tyre has only four millime-tres of tread depth remaining, the tread’s drop symbol will disappear, reminding the driver of the increased risk of aquaplaning.

For over 75 years we have developed, tested and patented solutions that

enhance safety in driving. Continuous innovation work is harnessed to

improving safety, durability and environmental friendliness. The guiding

principle is sustainable safety: the tyre should retain its features intact

under all conditions, even as it ages and wears.

Naturally Nokian TyresNokian Tyres was the world’s first tyre manufacturer to go over to using purified, low aromatic oils throughout its production.

Working on the road.

Tyres that are used every day have to provide unconditional reliability throughout their life. Nokian Hakka C Cargo and Nokian Hakka C Van are designed for heavy use right down to the smallest detail. However, durability on its own is not enough, the tyre has to give an accurate feel for the road in bad weather too.

The tread pattern and structure of the Nokian Hakka C Cargo for heavy vehicles is similar to a lorry tyre and can take the heavy wheel loadings of distribution and goods vehicles without any trouble. The non-directional tread pattern enables you to mount the tyre anywhere on the vehicle.

Nokian Hakka C Van designed for light loads and passenger transport is extremely quiet and its asymmetric tread pattern provides an extremely precise drive when used with minibuses.

The EU tyre label will help consumers

compare tyres in terms of fuel economy,

wet grip, and external rolling noise.

The EU tyre label applies to tyres for passenger cars,

4x4s, vans, trucks, and buses that are manufactured after

1 July 2012 and that are approved for road use. The label

does not apply to studded tyres.

Information on the EU tyre label and its classifications is

available from tyre retailers, the Nokian Tyres website,

and the tyre label itself. The classification information

and further information related to safety are available

by scanning the QR code on the label with a smartphone.

The selection of a tyre is a sum of many components.When selecting a tyre, always choose one that matches

your usage in the best possible way. In addition to the

three properties in the EU tyre labels, there are a number

of factors related to safety, performance and the environ-

ment that tyre developers take into account. Although

the new labels make it easier to compare tyre models,

you should also support your decision by consulting the

professional tyre retailers, independent magazine tests,

and tyre manufacturers.

Fuel economy –Lighter rolling

Ą 3 black sound waves = Exceeds the new EU type approval level

Ą 2 black sound waves = Equals the new EU type approval level

Ą 1 black sound wave = More than 3 dB quieter than required by the new type approval

Rolling resistance affects the energy efficiency, operating

costs, and carbon dioxide emissions of the tyre. Rolling re-

sistance amounts to approx. 20 per cent of the vehicle’s fuel

consumption. Lower rolling resistance amounts to better

fuel economy.

The difference in consumption between the best and weak-

est tyre (A-G) is significant, at around 0.6 l/100 km. The

lightly rolling tyres also reduce CO2 emissions by 14 g/km.

During the entire operating life of the tyre, the amount of

fuel equals five full tanks (240 litres).

For summer tyres, wet grip is especially important in terms

of safety. Tyres with excellent wet grip have a shorter

braking distance, more stable handling, and better drive-

ability. The label indicates the tyre’s braking distance on

wet asphalt, from a speed of 80 km/h. For example, the

difference between class A and class F in terms of stopping

distance can be over 18 metres, or four car lengths.

*In the EU tyre label directive, both fuel economy and wet

grip have been rated from A (best class) to G (weakest

class). For fuel economy, class D is not used; for wet grip,

classes D and G are not used.

The value for external rolling noise signifies the external

noise pollution caused by the tyre on the environment. The

interior noise that the driver experiences is not taken into

account.

In addition to the noise value reported in decibels (dB), the

label has 1 to 3 black sound waves signifying the EU type

approval class of the tyre.

Ą Best and weakest: A to G, savings of up to 5 full tanks during the operating life. *

Ą Adjacent classes: B to C, savings 0.1 l/100 km. *

Wet grip – More safety

Ą Best and weakest class: A to F, braking distance over 18 metres shorter. *

Ą Adjacent classes: B to C, braking distance shorter by one car length. *

External rolling noise – Quieter

A

G

* Car’s fuel consumption 7l/100 km. Estimated annual mileage 15,000 km, 40,000 km during the tyre’s lifetime. The values are measured according to the testing methods of decree EC/1222/2009.
