Tire dealers have a message for you. If you drive one set of tires year-round and experience mild winter conditions, you should consider driving all weather tires. Read more of what they have to say.
What are all weather tires and how do they differ from all season tires? We admit the names are similar. But all season tires aren’t designed for wintry conditions; their compounds harden when temperatures drop below 45 degrees Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celsius). And their tread patterns aren’t engineering to navigate snow, slush or ice.
All weather tires like the Nokian Tyres Remedy WRG5 offer a true year-round driving solution. They’re certified with the three-peak mountain snowflake that signifies they’re designed with snow and slush in mind, but they also thrive in rain and heat.
You may not know much about all weather tires yet, but tire dealers sure do. Here are some reasons they think you should give them a try.
All Weather Tires Provide True Year-Round Versatility
“We’re in the mountains of North Carolina, and our average elevation is 4,000 feet above sea level. With the Nokian Tyres all-weather tire, [my customers can handle] winter and summer…with one tire.”
-Judd Huffman, Alray Tire
All weather tires are an excellent choice in areas that see winter visit, or for drivers who visit wintry conditions. Judd’s shop is in Boone, North Carolina, in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains. His drivers experience searing summer temperatures, heavy spring rain and semi-regular wintry weather. All weather tires give them the versatility they need to find peace of mind in all conditions.
All Weather Tires Allow You To Forget the Forecast
“My commute from Montana to Idaho is an eight-hour drive over three mountain passes. I did that all last winter on the Nokian Tyres all-weather tires without issues. They are phenomenal.”
-Jared McDermott, L.P. Anderson Point S
Jared puts his trust where the rubber meets the road. He can personally attest that all weather tires enable drivers to Forget the Forecast and drive with confidence, even in the winter months. Nokian Tyres products are tested north of the Arctic Circle to ensure they perform well in snow and slush. For drivers who live in the valley but often visit the mountains, tires like the Nokian Tyres Remedy WRG5 manage unpredictable weather in the frosty months.
Family Trust: A Tradition of All-Weather Tires
“We’ve been selling all-weather tires for the last 20 years, and our customers love them. Whether in sunshine, rain or snowy conditions, you know you can be safe with all-weather tires on your vehicle. Nokian Tyres all-weather tires are the only thing I’ve run on my family’s cars for the last 20 years.”
-Howie Fetzer, Fetzer Tire
Howie’s Connecticut shop is a trailblazer when it comes to selling all weather tires, and he has become something of a product ambassador for Nokian Tyres. In fact, our all weather products represent more than 80 percent of his sales.
Why? Because he trusts them enough to put his family on them. If that’s not a strong testament to their reliability, we don’t know what is.
They Provide Confidence
“When I start educating a first-time customer about an all-weather product, our repeat customers actually chime in and talk about how this is the best tire they’ve ever had. They help me sell the tire.”
-Nick Fox, Gills Point S
Nick is not the only tire dealer who has told us this story. If you’re the type of consumer who prides yourself in knowing about cool products before they’re common knowledge, you’ll love giving all weather tires a try. We’ve been making them long enough to develop a cult following of drivers who keep coming back for new generations of the tire, and who love spreading the word to friends, family and even strangers in a tire shop.
Our Nokian Tyres Outpost family of tires is our latest all-weather and all-terrain line we've introduced to the market.
Comfort and Efficiency
“There are quite a few people who find value in having something that is a step up from all-season tires and is winter-rated. And the other nice thing is that it’s not noisy, it’s a good ride, it has fuel efficiency built into it.”
-John Linder, Linder Tire
All weather tires keep you moving through all conditions, but they also help you move with ease. The Nokian Tyres Remedy WRG5 has a low-rolling-resistance compound that maximizes fuel mileage while minimizing emissions. And that compound is comfortable, too; our all weather tires may be tough on snow and reinforced against potholes, but they make for a smooth ride.
These are just a few of the reasons all weather tires might be a fit for you. If you visit winter or winter visits you, but you want one set of tires year-round, visit NokianTyres.com/Weather to learn about our true year-round driving solution.
