Nokian Tires Nordman SZ2 205/50 R17 93W summer Review

Nokian Nordman SZ2 The Nokian Nordman SZ2 is a UHP tire with excellent roadholding and excellent handling, allowing you to maintain complete control in extreme asphalt conditions. And on gravel roads, they handle obstacles just fine. Already at a glance at the tread pattern, you can see what the ultra-high speed and handling characteristics are based on, which are necessary for maintaining control over the car. Golf ball tread pattern Rigid shoulder area. The same rigid internal blocks with hemispherical recesses on the walls of the transverse ribs pattern, as on a golf ball. Tread blocks connecting different zones. Longitudinal ribs within the pattern. Wide longitudinal outer ribs. Deep side grooves and undulating grooves to stabilize handling and prevent hydroplaning. Compound for durability and handling Nokian Nordman SZ2 tires respond immediately to steering commands in any, even the most extreme conditions. At the heart of such obedience is resistance to heavy loads, provided by a rubber compound with silica and natural oils. For a rigid monolith, such as a tread, resistance to deformation and obstacles in the form of stones and bumps is a common occurrence. An important role is played by drainage grooves with elliptical recesses using Hydro Grooves technologies, which work longitudinally and transversely to remove water from the contact patch. Strength testing Nokian TiresThe philosophy of Nokian Tires is to balance all properties in order to achieve the final result. All data is verified in thousands of kilometers of tests. Many properties are rare even for luxury tires, such as cut resistance, which is very important when driving on gravel and country roads. The strength of rubber is enhanced by a special breaker in combination with a two-layer carcass, reinforced with the entry of steel threads with high tensile strength. One tire is more than 2.5 km of the thinnest steel and polymer wire. The tire reaches the highest tensile strength of up to 2,400 kg. Precise & Safe Handling The new high performance Nokian Tires Nordman SZ2 tires deliver convincingly precise handling and control on asphalt and gravel. Tires provide immediate vehicle response to steering inputs for safe driving in extreme conditions. Stable, precise and quiet tires are easy to control even at top speeds withstand the wear and tear of rough roads well
