Nokian Tyres Inc. has announced the expansion of its Nokian eNTyre line by 14 sizes.
Introduced at last year’s SEMA Show, the eco-friendly premium all-season tire line now sports 40 total sizes. The new T-, H- and V-rated sizes cover 14- through 19-inch wheel diameters, and all are extra-load sizes save for one.
The new sizes are expected to be available for dealer orders in November.
“The development concept was to provide drivers with ultimate safety, driving comfort and performance, in an environmentally friendly ‘green’ tire,” Nokian said. “This premium all-season tire has excellent wet grip, a smooth and quiet ride, long-wearing tread life and great handling properties,” and “provides superior winter grip when compared to other premium all-season tires. The tires’ low rolling resistance also provides better gas mileage.”
The Nokian eNTyre also features several tread element design innovations, Nokian said, including “Cooling Edge” technology, which provides better cooling to the hottest part of the tire for handling and durability; “3D Sipes,” for handling on dry roads and even tire wear; and “Polished Grooves,” which help expel water and snow from the tire’s surface.
