he new Nokian iLine for small and medium-sized cars rolls pleasantly and
safely in any summer weather. This summer tyre from Nokian Tyres offers first-class fuel efficiency,
which amounts to greener driving. The top-notch driving feel remains stable and
reliable even under extreme conditions. The unique Venturi Grooves effectively
prevent aquaplaning and the pine oil added to the rubber compound maximises
tyre durability.
The new summer tyre from the world’s
northernmost tyre manufacturer supplements the selection of Nokian Tyres
premium summer tyres for the increasingly varied Central European summer
weather. The wide size selection (13–16 inches) is excellently suited for drivers
who want to stay safe on rain-soaked asphalt and sun-scorched gravel roads
alike. The most common speed ratings are T (190 km/h) and H (210 km/h). The
entire size selection will be made available to drivers during the spring of
2016.
Better mileage, lower noise
The new
Nokian iLine has low rolling resistance and good wear resistance thanks to
several technological innovations. The hemispherical, golf ball-like
indentations on the walls of the longitudinal ribs cool the tyre down. This new
Silent Groove Design reduces air resistance and increases the range of the
vehicle through lower fuel consumption.
The design of
the sides of the longitudinal ribs also controls the interior and exterior
rolling noise of the vehicle. The indentations guide the airflow, removing the
noise waves caused by the edges of the transversal grooves and thereby
preventing that unpleasant, howling sound.
The new
Nokian iLine Silica tread compound is a skilful combination of safety and
eco-friendliness. Pine oil has been added to the full silica compound that
guarantees commendable wet grip under all conditions. Pine oil effectively
reduces the temperature of the rubber compound by reducing the friction caused
by inter-molecular movement. The Nokian iLine lasts longer and rolls lightly,
consumes less fuel and minimises harmful emissions.
