New Nokian winter tyre for SUVs

New for this winter is the Nokian WR SUV 3; a rugged, high-performance winter tyre, with ultimate snow grip thanks to snow claws, for all-round use on SUVs.
The Nokian WR SUV 3 feels at home in the varying European winter conditions, and it has excellent winter grip and driving response for SUVs. Its Snow Claws bite firmly into the snow and the tyre effectively resists slush planing and aquaplaning and can cope with all of the surprises that winter may have in store. It rolls lightly and retains its balance on snow, slush, and dry roads alike.
