What All-Weather Tires Are Suitable For An Electric SUV?


SUV all-weather tires

Spring is emerging here in Vail, Colorado and I am starting to look for SUV all-weather tires suitable for our Tesla Model X to replace our winter tires. I’ve been very satisfied with our Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV winter tires and that’s why we decided to stay with the same tire manufacturer. We were told that the Nokian WR G3 SUV tire would be a good choice.

The Nokian WR G3 SUV tire is especially designed for safety and carefree driving in any season. It allows for excellent handling, stability, low rolling resistance and control even at high speeds and features cutting edge technologies like “3D Self-locking siping”, which helps with the wear resistance of the tire by minimizing heat generation. This is because of the self-locking 3D sipe on the center rib of the tire gives support both diagonally and longitudinally. Nokian Tyres is also the only company to use purified oils in their production of tires, so no toxins or carcinogenic chemicals are being used at all. There was also an option to go for the Flat Run tires, which allow you to drive about 30 miles on an empty tire, and much further if there is only the driver in the car. The functional Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) does need to be installed however.

I decided to go for a SUV all-weather tire as I was told that they would best handle all 4 seasons of the year in comparison to all season tires that aren’t really for all 4 seasons as implied by the name. This is because the all-weather tire is really a combination of a dedicated winter tire and an all-season tire. I’ve been really impressed of how well these tires perform on snow and slush.


Let’s see how well the slush planing prevention works on all this melted snow and in the summer on wet rainy roads. If I end up keeping my SUV all-weather tire through the year or if I install my dedicated SUV winter tires for the winter season, I am still satisfied with my choice of high quality tires. I will have year round driving pleasure and the peace of mind that my family and I are safe.

Nokian Tyres have a wide range of truck tires to keep you safe on the roads

Truck tires are some of the most used tires as you have trucks on all continents around the world delivering goods throughout our nations. Everything we find in our stores have come from somewhere and it has all arrived by truck to the stores. Some can come as far away as other continents and shipped via freight containers on our oceans to reach a port for further distribution around the continent. So the trucks will have to travel very long distances and have to endure a lot of different weather conditions. This will put a lot of pressure on the truck tires  to be able to ensure that you get to the end destination on time regardless of weather conditions. When it comes to commercial tires is that they are made to endure long distances, but you will need to make sure that you select tires that have been developed with the highest quality and have been tested to endure the conditions that you will drive your trucks through. If you will experience winter conditions, the ti

Will the harbor terminals suffer from global trade wars?

Image
The current global trade wars will for sure impact all of use in one way or another. There will for sure impact the amount being delivered and arriving at the main ports. The question is though if it will be a significant and long standing disruption. It might also lead to a shift in how the logistics is done. It will most likely not be a big decline, but it is more likely to stifle the growth. So there will be a similar demand of equipment at the main ports as well as in the various terminals. In the big global logistics network there is a big need for tires if high quality that can manage heavy loads, be durable and have long service life to ensure that there is no disruption in the logistics chain and allow timely deliveries of goods around the globe. You have everything from wheeled equipment in the terminals, such as terminal tractors and RTG-cranes, which have strict requirements on needed terminal tractor tires and RTG-tires . These need to be able to carry very heav

Better mobility and improved versatility with wheeled excavator

Image
The advantage of a wheeled excavator versus one with tracks is that you have much better mobility and can move around much faster. Depending on the work site you can even manage with just an excavator and a dump truck, where the excavator will dig the site and the dump truck can remove all the material from the site. In some cases you would also add a loader that can collect the material and then dump it in the dump truck, this can of course be avoided it the excavator can dump straight into a dump truck, where you would probably need two dump trucks not to slow down the work of the excavator. With a wheeled excavator you will need to make sure that you will get good reliable excavator tires that will be able to provide enough stability and grip, while also being very durable. The same goes for the dump truck and the wheel loader tires , they will need to be very puncture resistant to avoid having tire problems from the sharp objects like rocks on the site. Ending up with
