Product description
The new Nokian WR D3 offers a excellent combination of safety and uncompromised driving pleasure. Thanks to nanotechnology, new materials and innovations this environmentally friendly premium tyre
provides an extremely high standard of traction and handling properties in the typically varying winter conditions of the UK.
The WR D3 is a dependable choice for small and mid-sized family cars and motorist who place more value on safe and economical driving. Studies have shown that slush can be even more dangerous for
drivers than ice or aquaplaning and the directional arrow tread pattern of the WR D3 is designed to actively prevent slush planning. The tyre's resistance against aquaplaning and slush planing is
enhanced by the application of a slanting, staggered front edge of the tread blocks. This new innovation is called Slush Blower, because it actually blows water and slush away from the tyre
grooves. The polished grooves have also been designed to speed up the removal flow of water and slush.
The light rolling properties and durability are enhanced by several new solutions and innovations such as computer and thermographic camera simulations which were utilised to find the optimal
design of symmetrical tread. The strong siping does not break the edge of the block, which provides excellent traction and enables the framed block to maintain its rigidity. This Cool Touch Design
also reduces the friction and heat emission caused by unnecessary sipe movement resulting in lower fuel consumption and lower carbon dioxide emissions.
The WR D3 is equipped with the reassuring Driving Safety Indicator (DSI). Patented by Nokian Tyres, this standard element located on the tyre's tread blocks indicates the depth of the main grooves
in millimetres.
