Comes from Nokian Tires, manufacturer of premium tires, the idea of proposing tires specially designed to adapt to increasingly variable summer weather conditions, in which large changes in temperature can quickly change driving conditions. Under these conditions, the right set of high-quality tires can help drivers adapt quickly to these changes. Hence the development of Nokian Tires’ summer tires are the Nokian Wetproof, the Nokian Wetproof SUV, the Nokian Powerproof and the Nokian Powerproof SUV, all developed
“Thanks to the specially developed Dual Zone Safety concept and the new generation compound – explains Martin Dražík, expert and Product Manager for Central Europe at Nokian Tires – the Nokian Wetproof summer tire guarantees first-class safety, stability and wet grip. Drivers can now easily handle changing weather conditions during the summer season with their sudden changes in temperature, heavy rain or sudden thunderstorms. The tire retains its properties even on dry surfaces, including particularly sun-beaten motorways. “
In an independent test by the prestigious German magazine Auto Motor und Sport (7/2021), the Nokian Wetproof took second place ex-aequo and classified as “very good”. The results highlighted above all its safety on wet surfaces, the harmonious cooperation with the ECS system and the extreme handling on dry surfaces. The tire also took second place ex-aequo in another German magazine, AUTO Strassenverkehr (8/2021), and was named the clear winner for price / performance ratio.
Another test by the renowned German ACE Lenkrad (March 2021) declared the Nokian Wetproof as a well balanced tire with no obvious weaknesses. It also emphasized its excellent price / performance ratio. According to market feedback gathered, the Nokian Wetproof was given a rating of 4.5 / 5, which means that consumers were very satisfied with the tire’s performance.
The SUV version, the Nokian Wetproof SUV, is a superior quality product with patented Aramid Sidewall technology. No wonder it has become a popular choice for SUV owners. In a test by the German newspaper Auto Bild Allrad (March 2021) it was rated as “good”, securing fifth place. According to this magazine, the advantages of the Nokian Wetproof SUV include short braking distances in wet and dry conditions and good safety margins in the event of aquaplaning. The test also highlighted another important feature for SUVs, namely the tire’s high pulling force on grass and gravel.
