Technical information
Focus: Standard
The largest and best-selling category, and Nokian Tyres SNOWPROOF 2 SUV belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

What owners say
<p>The tyres got really bad while aging. I don't know if I had tyres from a bad lot, but they were extremely noisy.
When they had about 5 mm tread left, the snow grip got really bad and I decided to replace them with Continental TS870P.
I would not recommend them for heavy cars like my Volvo XC60 D5 AWD.
They were very good on wet and dry roads when new and also when aged. But the winter (snow, ice) performance was not making me feel safe, therefore I replaced them immediately as the snow handling got bad.</p>
This is my second season on this tyres. The tyres are good on snow and very good on wet and slushy roads. With 2wd and 5° incline and with 2 inch of sniw I had no issues starting up the hill. Tyre also performs very good on dry roads - winter only. Wear for a winter tyre is also very good. Noise and comfort is ok for dimension. I recommend this tyre.
Good enough for winter.
Driving these tyres on my Volvo XC60 D5 AWD in Switzerland since October 2023 for 13000 km.
What amazed me with those tyres is the grip and security they give during heavy raining or slush. They provided excellent control at high speed during a heavy snow storm in Germany in December while the highway was not properly cleaned. And they are always secure through water puddles on the highway or when driving through heavy rain.
One drawback is the increased fuel consumption (~1 liter/100 km) while driving on rain.
There is noticeable tread wear on the front axle but I did not measure the remaining tread depth, yet.
One characteristic is the noticeable noise and steering wheel vibration during cornering at low speeds (10-20 km/h).
The highway driving noise is particularly high pitched, but not disturbing.
I am satisfied with these tyres and would recommend them for anyone driving through snow, slush or rain.
Dry braking seems a bit worse than with the summer Continental Premium Contact 6 tyres, but was never a practical issue.
Nokian excellent on snow, also excellent on wet surfaces, but what was surprising was in the dry. The Kevlar reinforced sidewall significantly reduces body roll and steering angle. The tire is direct and precise, at high performance summer levels, making the handling fantastic. This driving pleasure has not been declared by the tests carried out so far, not even the aramid reinforced sidewall which reduces the risk of punctures and dents or bubbles, very important for an off-road vehicle. Unthinkable for an SUV winter tire until recently. I had the WR SUV3, which lasted 10 years, excellent on snow, but here the step forward is very big. Well done.
