Nokian Tyres all-season tires for SUVs
Both the weather and road conditions can change from day to day. When the weather changes, you don't always want to have to change tires. Thanks to Nokian Tyres all-season tires for SUVs, you no longer have to. These SUV all-season tires were developed in harsh Nordic conditions and exposed to various weather conditions.
You can leave SUV all-season tires on your SUV all year round and reach your destination safely both in summer and winter when driving conditions are tricky. Nowadays, more and more all-season SUV tires are sold as people want to benefit from the convenience and safety of all-season tires.
The differences between summer, winter and all-season tires
Summer tires have wide grooves that make them safer on wet roads in warm driving conditions. In addition, summer tires have a hard rubber with a stiff profile, which ensures more safety in summer driving conditions.
Winter tires, in contrast, provide grip in winter despite snow and ice and thus improve both the driving experience and driving safety. Winter tires are made of softer rubber that remains elastic at lower temperatures and also allows shorter braking distances on ice and snow.
All-season SUV tires are a mix of winter and summer tires, which can also be seen from their appearance. The rubber of all-season tires is also a mix that performs well in a range of temperatures.
Choosing all-season tires for your SUV
If you are looking for all-season tires for your SUV, you should first make sure the tires fit your vehicle. This depends on the type and size of the vehicle and also your driving behavior. For example, do you often take your SUV off-road and still want good grip and puncture resistance? Or do you mostly drive in normal conditions and city traffic?
If you are interested in an SUV all-season tire, you should take a close look at some things beforehand so that you can ultimately find the right model for your needs.
Vehicle type
The vehicle type plays a crucial role when you are looking for all-season tires. The weight and individual driving characteristics of your vehicle are two important aspects that should be considered beforehand. Therefore, always pay attention to the load capacity class, especially when driving with a heavier SUV.
Tire markings
All-season tires should always have a specific tire marking with the Alpine symbol (three mountain peaks and snowflake). Inspect the tire markings of your current SUV tires to ensure that you find compatible all-season tires. Check out the EU tire markings to find out more information about tire noise, fuel consumption, wet grip and whether the tires are approved for winter use.
Tread depth
The tread depth also plays an important role in all-season tires, which is why you should always make sure that there is at least 1.6 mm of tread depth left in the tires. Keep track of how worn your tires are and change to new winter, summer or all-season tires before your current tires are no longer safe in traffic.
Tire price
The price also plays an important role when choosing tires. Remember that cheap tires usually wear out faster and also have a higher fuel consumption, which can lead to additional costs in the long term. Choose high-quality all-season SUV tires from Nokian Tyres to drive safely all year round.
