In a move to showcase the technological muscle of its products, Nokian Tyres invited several distributors and dealers to a tire testing event in Colorado at the Copper Mountain Ski Resort outside of Denver.
Attendees got to feel for themselves the features and attributes of several Nokian tires, including the WR G4 SUV, Hakkapeliitta 9, Hakkapeliitta R3 and Hakkapeliitta LT 3, some against OE-fitments on the rental fleet used for the testing.
Four test tracks nestled at the base of the mountain gave attendees a chance to “let it loose,” as they experienced Nokian tires firsthand. Look for full coverage of the event on tirereview.com Jan. 17 and in the February issue of Tire Review.

Engineered for electric and gas- or diesel-powered regional work vehicles, Goodyear said its latest RangeMax tires are a steer-drive combo. In response to growing demand trends within the regional delivery segment, as well as cost-savings and sustainability goals for fleets, Goodyear said the all-position RangeMax RSA ULT and RangeMax RTD ULT tires help deliver range efficiency through low rolling resistance and long miles to removal.
