Nokian tyre is the winner and judged "very recommendable" in the 2011 summer tyres (in Swedish, sommardck) test of the German "Auto Motor und Sport" car magazine. Safe and fuel saving, the Nokian V tyres received feedback like "Very good driving behaviour and braking ability in the wet and dry, low road noise, very low rolling resistance." Very good properties in the wet and a low rolling resistance helped the Finnish Nokian Tyres to achieve the overall victory. The premium tyre (in Swedish dck) is the best tyre in the "overall wet" assessment and also in the following assessments: braking distance in the wet, test value handling wet, rolling resistance and road noise.
Nokian V tyre achieved good grades also from others
Nokian Tyres has achieved excellent results in this year's summer tyres tests. "Very recommendable" is the verdict for the high speed tyre Nokian Z G2 in the German car magazine "Auto Zeitung".
The environmentally friendly Nokian V also achieved the judgement "good" in the German automobile association ADAC and consumer protection organisation Stiftung Warentest 2011 tyre test, which is the best achievable verdict. The tyre has the shortest braking distances in the wet from all the tyres tested by ADAC. Nokian's result was 22 metres shorter than the poorest tyre. Its outstanding braking ability and driving behaviour on wet roads combined with low fuel consumption is proven by many independent tests.
Nokian tyres are at their best in wet tests
Nokian tyres are at their best in wet tests. Contrary to prevailing opinion, it brakes better than any of its competitors. Nokian tyres provide easy handling and achieve a fair result in the aquaplaning assessment. In the braking in the wet -test, the worst product had almost seven meters longer braking distances than Nokian tyres had. "Good wet qualities are extremely important because driving on wet roads is more dangerous than on dry roads." According to current state of technology, this is "very good", "Auto Motor und Sport" praises.
When developing tyres, it's difficult to solve the problem of combining the best grip possible in the wet and minimum rolling resistance. It's difficult but not impossible. The new tyre from the Finnish tyre manufacturer Nokian Tyres is a very good example. Nokian tyres achieved the top value 0,90 from the rolling resistance measuring test.
