Nokian Tyres Wetproof 1 is a high-performance summer tyre designed to provide outstanding safety in wet conditions. It excels in wet braking and offers strong resistance to aquaplaning, ensuring a secure driving experience on rainy days and waterlogged roads. This tyre strikes a perfect balance between comfort and safety, featuring low rolling resistance for enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, it offers excellent mileage, making it a reliable choice for drivers seeking both performance and durability.
To ensure a high level of comfort and safety, the tread is structured into two distinct zones with complementary functions. The Dual Zone Safety concept effectively combines dry-road handling and wet-road performance. The outer zone, known as the Stability Zone, promotes good directional stability and reassuring handling during manoeuvres. The inner section, the Wet Safety Zone, is dedicated to grip on wet roads and helps reduce the risk of aquaplaning, ensuring safer driving whatever the conditions.
The behaviour of water on a curved surface, known as the Coanda effect, makes it possible to guide a fluid along a profile rather than in a straight line. Nokian Tyres Coanda technology uses this principle to facilitate rapid water evacuation. By directing and projecting the water flow towards the outside of the tyre, this design helps limit water build-up under the tread and effectively reduces aquaplaning.
The new Aqua Sense rubber compound has been developed to suit Central European road conditions. This optimised formulation improves wet grip while limiting rolling resistance. It also helps to increase tyre lifespan, allowing you to cover more miles with consistent performance.
The Silent Groove Design influences airflow to limit noise pollution, both inside and outside the vehicle. By preventing the occurrence of unpleasant resonance noises, it promotes quieter driving. This aerodynamic optimisation also helps to reduce air resistance, dissipate heat more effectively at the tyre, and improve wear resistance, thereby increasing mileage under good conditions.
