OVERVIEW

The Nokian Rotiiva HT is a highway terrain summer tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Nokian offers a 45,000 mile treadwear warranty with the light truck sizes and a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with the SUV sizes of this model.

The tire guarantees excellent summer weather traction. The special durable tire compound and the asymmetric tread design work together to increase the dry and wet weather traction. The staggered lateral and wide circumferential grooves work together to prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water from below the tire’s footprint. The result is a safer summer weather performance. The tire is not recommended to be used in winter weather conditions, as the tire’s compound loses its flexibility in colder temperatures.

The tread pattern design enhances the tire’s controllability. The staggered lateral grooves increase the driving stability, while the outer shoulder’s groove lifts boost the steering responsiveness and cornering capability. The tire’s structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it, while the steering responsiveness to the driver’s instructions becomes faster and more accurate. The outer shoulder tread design with the lift grooves, located between the tread blocks, improves the cornering safety with better steering feel. These enhancements ensure a safer driving experience.

The shoulders’ tread design also features narrow circumferential grooves on each shoulder, which upgrades the lateral grip and manages to reduce the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the power affecting the tire that determines how much energy the vehicle needs to maintain the tires in motion. The decreased rolling resistance effectively lowers the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, making the model more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly.

The model ensures exceptional driving safety. Firstly, The Driving Safety Indicators or DSI features numbers on the center rib that show how much tread life is left on the tires in percentages. This enables the driver to monitor the tread wear on the tires and to change then before they become dangerous to use. Secondly, the aramid fiber sidewall compound is puncture and damage resistant. It also effectively avoids deformation under the driving pressure affecting it. The upgraded driving safety ensures a secure driving experience in all weather.

The Rotiiva HT promotes a quiet drive. The special Silent Wall technology absorbs the road noise generated while the tires are in motion. The sidewall design features a sound absorbing zone that prevents the road and tread pattern noise from reaching the vehicle’s cabin. As a result, the driving experience is quiet and comfortable.
