Description
The snow expert
Nokian Tyres Snowproof 2 is a safe and reliable premium winter tire for Central European passenger car drivers. The tire’s most important feature is superb winter safety in all conditions, resulting in excellent performance on snow, slush, and rain. Whether you drive on speedy autobahns, busy urban traffic, or scenic Alpine roads, driving feels controlled and predictable.
The Alpine Sense Grip 2.0 consists of a new, V-shaped tread pattern, 3D siping and Alpine Grip 2.0 compound. The tread design effectively removes snow and slush from between the tire and the road while the tailored, 3D siping ensures excellent lateral and longitudinal grip. The Alpine Grip 2.0 compound tackles the demanding and cold winter conditions, while offering excellent performance in milder weather. It responds reliably to the rise and drop of temperature, as the compound stays flexible and grippy in a wide condition range. The new compound also comes with high silica content, which results in a better wet grip. The rolling resistance is also on a premium level, which generates energy savings and reduces harmful emissions.
To provide maximum comfort and first-class safety, the tread area of the tire is divided into two functional zones. The Dual Zone Safety concept consists of the Grip Zone, which ensures impressive winter grip, and the Handling Zone, which offers control and stability. Designed to prevent dangerous aquaplaning, the Hydroflow Grooves on the tread will effectively remove water and slush from between the tire and the road.

EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
