For many men, a car is more than a means of transportation, cars are a real passion. Sometimes this passion surpasses the feelings they are able to feel towards a woman ... Men cherish and adore their “four-wheeled girlfriend”, give her affectionate name. The lion's share of income down on its equipment, buy means for cleaning and washing, alloy wheels and the DVR, and, of course, tires: summer, winter or all-season. It is clear that life depends not only on the driver and passengers, but also on pedestrians on the roads, especially in winter.

Nokian Tires

The world-famous company Nokian Tires is a leader in the production of tires for use in cold winter climates. Now it is a dynamically developing production. Particularly in demand in Russia are premium Nokian tires.

The progenitor of Nokian Tires was a rubber factory, founded in 1898. In 1904, a factory was built in Nokia (Finland), which began to produce rubber overshoe and later bicycle tires. Since 1932, the company began to manufacture tires for cars, in 1936 the first Nokia Hakkapeliitta car tires were made.

Spikes and Velcro

In 2005, the company began to implement a project to build a plant in the Russian city of Vsevolozhsk. From the time of laying the first stone to the production of the first tire Hakkapeliitta 4, only a year has passed.

As already mentioned, Nokian Tires produces a huge range of tires for winter driving, it is studded and sticky. The fact that spikes damage asphalt pavement is an indisputable fact. As a result, in many European countries, where climatic conditions allow drivers to do without spikes, only friction tires are allowed (we usually call them “stickies”).

The latter are divided into “European” and “Arctic” (the second name is “Scandinavian”). “European” are more suitable for driving in warm regions, since according to their characteristics they look more like a “all season” and have worked well at “near-zero” temperatures. But the "Scandinavian" are suitable only for harsh winter conditions.

In addition to winter "shoes for cars", the company produces racing high-speed tires for jeeps, reinforced for commercial vehicles, and summer for cars with a speed indicator up to 300 km per hour.

Regardless of whether you are driving an elegant sports car or a large-size truck, you can easily “put on” your car kit in comfortable shoes that will allow you to operate it safely.
