Nokian launches ‘versatile’ NTR 46

Nokian has introduced a new truck tyre range that “withstands the challenges of rough surfaces.” The NTR 46 on/off road front tyre, it says, has been particularly designed for gravel, timber and milk trucks. The Finnish tyre maker adds that the NTR 46 “guarantees steady movement” thanks to its robust structure and tear and puncture resistant rubber compound, which it says was developed to endure hard use. The NTR 46 is M+S marked for year-round use.

The tyre’s tread pattern features large, open blocks and wide grooves for efficient cleaning and firm grip in varying conditions. Stone ejectors in the grooves minimise the possibility of sharp stones penetrating the casing, further extending service life. Nokian reports that the NTR 46 wears evenly and maintains its qualities throughout its life thanks to the rubber compound used and the tyre’s low heat generation.

The first size in the NTR 46 range to be launched is the 315/80R22.5, and in autumn a size 385/65R22.5 fitment will be added.
