Nokian Launches Surpass AS01 Performance All-Season Tire

Tire manufacturer Nokian is launching a new tire this month. The Surpass AS01 is a high-performance all-season product. Featuring aramid fibre technology, it offers high puncture resistance and comes with a 90,000 km treadwear guarantee.

Nokian tires are generally highly rated by Canadian consumers, not only for their winter performance (especially in the case of winter tires), but also for their durability. With 90,000 km of guaranteed protection, it's a good deal for the consumer.

Nokian Tyres offers its Surpass AS01 in 65 sizes, for rims ranging from 16 to 21 inches.

We'll skip the technical terms related to tire technology and simply mention the strengths of this newcomer, as described by Nokian. The company says its Surpass AS01 offers better roadholding and greater longevity, and that it is highly effective in braking situations thanks to a tread that has been redesigned to be more responsive.

Better still, for those who own an electric vehicle (the tire bears Nokian's Electric Fit emblem), the company says the Surpass AS01 offers a low rolling resistance design, which helps increase or maintain the electric range offered with a vehicle. With a gasoline-powered vehicle, the effect is also noticeable at the pump, as a tire offering less resistance helps to reduce fuel consumption.
