EV Channels Review

This video celebrates Nokian Tyres' 90th anniversary of inventing the winter tire, detailing its evolution from the first 'Kelirengas' in 1934 to modern innovations. The discussion highlights key factors in winter tire performance: tread compound softness, tread pattern design, and the use of studs. It delves into advanced technologies like cryo grip crystals and improved stud sustainability, emphasizing Nokian's commitment to R&D. The review also addresses the distinction between all-season and all-weather tires, introducing Nokian's 'Remedy' as a solution for varied conditions. Crucially, it focuses on the specific needs of EVs, including reinforced sidewalls (with Aramid/Kevlar), reduced noise, low rolling resistance for range preservation, and the 'Electric Fit' and 'Ice Grip' emblems as indicators of suitability. While acknowledging that winter tires don't eliminate risk, they significantly enhance safety. The video also touches upon Nokian's 'Outpost NAT' all-terrain, all-weather tire for off-road capable EVs.
