The Nitto SN3 is a winter tire designed to add winter performance to passenger cars, sport coupes, SUV’s, CUVs and some sport trucks. The Nitto SN3 incorporates an advanced tread design with studless technology for better handling and driving security in severe winter conditions.
Deep inner blocks: Deep, alternating inner blocks add stability while allowing the tire to dig into deep snow or slush. More jagged edges also improve traction in harsh winter conditions.
Large outer blocksWide centre rib: The wide centre rib adds stability during highway speeds, while the jagged edges and a zigzag groove increase traction on ice or compacted snow.Tapered evacuation grooves: Tapered lateral grooves evacuate water or slush from the centre of the tire allowing the tire to better contact the road surface increasing grip.
Large inner channels: 4 large channels circling the tire ensure deep penetration in the snow or slush for added grip. These channels also remove moisture from under the tire to reduce the risk of hydroplaning.
Advanced construction: A winter tire’s construction is important. It must be sturdy enough to defend against road hazards while maintaining its handling ability during cold temperatures.
