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.

Maintaining All-Season Tires

Image
All-season tires can provide excellent performance on the road if adequately maintained. They are designed to handle a variety of road conditions, including wet highways, dry roads, and light snow. In low temperatures, the tread of the all-season tires hardens something that reduces the traction between the road and the tires. If the place you come from usually has icy or snowy roads in winter, you will need to have an extra set of winter tires specifically for the cold season. There are many things you need to do to maintain all-season properly and get the most of them. First of all, you need to drive carefully. If you are the kind of person who likes driving your car too fast, you may need to slow down a little bit if you want your tires to last. Driving too fast and braking harshly causes the tires to overheat, something that in turn causes the sidewalls to weaken and potentially fail. This kind of driving can also cause small cracks to form on the tires. Always practic...

Forest tires need to provide grip in all conditions

Image
The forest industry is what provides all the wood for furniture and buildings as well as all the paper for office papers, books and newspapers. Since we haven’t reached the paperless offices nor has the Internet taken over from all books and newspapers, there is still a high demand for paper from trees. This is why the forest industry is still growing and the machines tend to get bigger and heavier. The bigger the investment is to heavy equipment the better utilization you want from that asset. It is therefore important to limit any downtime and make sure that it can be fully utilized. The main equipment that you work with and that will need  forest tires  is the harvester and forwarder and the feller buncher and skidder. Each tire will have a bit different requirements based on the tasks that they perform to ensure that you get the best performance with the least problems. If you look at e.g.  skidder tires , they will need to have excellent grip as they cli...

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, th...
