Description
Reliabilty on rain, slush and snow
Nokian Tyres Snowproof 1 is a safe and reliable premium winter tire especially developed for Central European passenger car drivers. The tire offers predictable behavior on snow and slush and comes with vastly improved wet properties. This trusty performer’s winter safety features
offer peace of mind in sudden snowfalls and slushy lane changes. Nokian Tyres Snowproof 1 offers reliability and balance for daily driving. The Alpine Sense Grip concept is an innovative combination of reliable grip on snow, slush, and wet while the handling remains balanced and easy to control. The tread design effectively removes water and slush from between the tire and the road while the tailored siping ensures excellent lateral and longitudinal grip.
The Alpine Grip rubber compound is designed to perform in a wide temperature range. Without compromising any winter properties of the tire, the wet performance elements have been further developed to meet the needs of milder conditions. The multifaceted Snow Claws between the tread blocks and in the shoulder areas provide balanced grip on ice and snow, particularly when braking and accelerating. The Brake Boosters do their part to improve the longitudinal grip. A strong, unifed rib offers excellent stability and steering response dominates the tire’s center region. The heavily siped tread blocks that connect to this sturdy rib improve braking and acceleration grip.

EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
