Commercially available tyres are produced at east european facilities and at the same time must provide all the characteristics claimed by the manufacturer.

When creating this model, advanced technologies were used, which made it possible to reduce its weight and reduce rolling resistance. This ensures fuel economy and acoustic comfort when driving. Due to the tread with three wide longitudinal grooves and a specially designed sipe system, water is well drained from the contact patch, which prevents hydroplaning.

As the name of the model suggests, the main emphasis of the Finnish company Nokian Tyres is on environmental friendliness and economy. The Hakka Green Silica rubber compound used contains Finnish pine oil, which should provide good traction on both dry and wet surfaces.

Based on this, this model can be recommended as economical for operation on suburban highways. Its balanced performance gives it versatility, making it a perfect fit for the driver traveling on the roads of regions with variable climatic conditions.

Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 205/55 R16 91H

The ContiPremiumContact 5 tyre from the German manufacturer Continental is one of the most popular representatives of the summer season.
