Why non-studded tires are a strong winter driving option


non-studded tires

It used to be that studded winter tires were the ultimate in winter traction; however, recent innovations have made non-studded tires an appealing option for winter driving, too. Studded tires grip clear ice more effectively than non-studded tires, and they’re still ideal for roads that endure lots of icy weather. But non-studded tires are great for the snowy conditions that many parts of North America face each year.

The Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 non-studded winter tire excels in winter conditions thanks to such innovations. This tire offers the perfect balance of safety and comfort with excellent grip on both ice and snow. This is due to technology the Arctic Sense Grip concept that allows for relentless grip and controlled quiet driving due to sipes that adapt to all weather conditions. In addition, Biobased Cryo Crystal 3 grip particles have been added to the rubber compound to enhance grip, especially on ice. Just as studded tires thrive on ice, these non-studded tires provide safe driving in even the slickest conditions.

Studded tires remain a viable winter driving choice, though. There have been many advances in stud technology that make these products more eco- and driver-friendly than ever. For example, the Eco Stud cushion in the studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 reduce road wear and decrease noise levels, leading to a safe and comfortable driving experience.

With advances in both studded and non-studded tires, the difference between the two becomes less pronounced in many cases, which is particularly useful since studded tires are still restricted in some areas of North America. Drivers who choose high-quality non-studded tires such as the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 will likely be very pleased with their decision.

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

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.

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
