Nokian zLine XL 225/40-18 summer tire

Nokian zLine – Summer tireStable, precise and quiet Accurate and easy to control even in extreme situations Excellent wet grip at all temperatures Sporty Nokian zLine is a professional in demanding driving situations thanks to the new generation tread compound, multi-layer structure utilizing nanotechnology and surface pattern developed for fast driving. It reacts to steering movements without delay, which is an absolute requirement when moving safely at the extreme limits. New Nokian Intelligent UHP Silica: better wet grip and steering feel The Nordic Intelligent UHP Silica tread compound was specially tailored for hard use, higher speeds. The rubber compound, which works ideally in a wide temperature range, improves wet grip both in the early mornings of early spring and in the dark of autumn. The feel of the road is perfect and unsurprising in all conditions. Surface pattern supports optimal handling The new and modern surface shape perfectly supports the precise driving use of the high-performance tire. Like other Nokian family members, the surface model is an asymmetrical inside-outside model. The solid outer and inner shoulder area is combined with piece patterns that are tied together with longitudinal ribs. The wide and massive ribs stiffen the tire and reduce the movement of the pattern pieces in contact with the road. The longitudinal ribs next to the inner shoulder are dominated by deep diagonal grooves that stabilize driving. At the same time, this new Hydro Grooves innovation effectively combats aquaplaning by storing water between the undercarriage and the tire and directing the water to the longitudinal grooves. The invention guarantees a safe driving experience even in rainy weather. Against the dangers of hydroplaning, plunge grooves were also shaped into the transverse main grooves of the outer shoulder. More driving comfort and durability Nokian zLine's driving comfort is increased by the semi-spherical holes in the wall of the longitudinal ribs that resemble the surface pattern of a golf ball. This Silent Groove Design innovation suppresses the vehicle's interior and passing noise. The strong and durable Nokian zLine runs convincingly even on poor road sections. The steel belt package connected to the double frame structure is made of extremely strong steel wire. Additional safety is provided by the renewed rim protector, which protects the horn area of the rim. Renewed rut depth gauge and information area The tread depth gauge (DSI – Driving Safety Indicator) patented by Nokian Tires is found as usual on the wear surface. What's new is the ease of use of the furrow depth gauge.
