Nokian Heavy Tyres is introducing the new Nokian NTR 52 steer axle tyre for trucks and buses for medium and long distance use.

The company says the new tyre meets the EURO 6 load carrying capacity requirements and has a higher load index than its predecessor, the Nokian NTR 32.

The Nokian NTR 52 has an M+S label and it is suited for all-year use.

Nokian Heavy Tyres has developed a new type of tread pattern, which has zigzag shaped grooves, while the design of the new pattern is protected in Europe.

As the tyre wears down, its grooves become more zigzag shaped, increasing the lateral support of the ribs and improving driving stability.

The new grooves also reduce stone trapping in the main grooves. The features ensure the tyre works reliably when worn, says Teppo Siltanen, Nokian Heavy Tyres product manager for Truck Tyres.
