Nokian zLine A/S SUV

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All weather traction
• Fuel efficient performance
• Lengthened tread life
• Better controllability

OVERVIEW

The Nokian zLine A/S SUV is a high performance all season tire manufactured for SUVs.

The tire promotes excellent all weather traction. The asymmetric tread with its 3D siping detail and the all season tire compound work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread's siping detail firmly grips the road surface with its additional biting edges even in winter weather conditions, while the tire compound maintains its flexible traction and weather damage resistance throughout the year. The tread's special full depth transverse grooves effectively avoid hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The increased all weather traction and hydroplaning resistance boost the year round performance.

The model offers great fuel efficiency and a longer tread life. It was manufactured with Nokian's Cooling Edge technology that prevents heat build-up on the tire's surface during its performance. Firstly, this eases the driving pressure off the tire and lowering its rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the external force affecting the tire that determines the amount the energy the vehicle needs to maintain the tires in motion. The lowered rolling resistance, in turn, decreases the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission, making the tire more cost efficient and environmentally friendly. Secondly, it enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out force of acceleration, cornering and braking avoids the formation of irregular tread wear across the tire's surface. The ensured even wear and the lessened rolling resistance guarantee a slower and even wearing tread life and a lengthened tire usability.

The model's constant road contact upgrades its controllability. The ribbed tread design of the asymmetric pattern features three center ribs and stronger shoulder designs that maintain the tire's road contact at all times, boosting the steering responsiveness, driving stability and cornering capability. The center rib's constant road contact upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, and secures the tire's structure against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder tread blocks, on the other hand, enhance the cornering capability and power. They heighten the number of biting edges firmly gripping the road surface, ensuring a secure driving experience throughout the year.

The zLine A/S SUV guarantees a comfortable driving experience. The tire has an extra layer of rubbed under its tread area, which absorbs the shock of driving while the tires are in motion. The additional rubber layer lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin in this manner. In this manner, the tire ensures a comfortable and enjoyable drive in all weather conditions.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
