215/60R17 Winter tires

Vehicle type

The size and weight of your SUV are crucial considerations when choosing winter tires. Your SUV's weight can significantly impact the performance of your tires, so it's important to choose tires that are designed to handle the heavier load. Nokian Tyres winter tires for SUVs are specifically engineered for these vehicles and challenging winter conditions.

Tire markings

Tire markings can provide vital information about the size, load capacity, speed rating of your winter tires, and much more. Also, check out the EU tire markings to find more information about the tire's fuel efficiency, wet grip performance, and noise levels. The markings in your current SUV winter tires help you find a compatible new set of tires.

Tread depth

The tread depth of winter tires plays a great role in their performance. New SUV winter tires typically have a tread depth of around 8-9 mm, which gradually decreases with use. While the minimum tread depth is 1.6 mm, for optimal safety and performance in winter conditions, it's recommended to replace your tires when the tread depth reaches 4 mm.

Tire age

Tires can degrade over time, even if they are not used. Therefore, it's important to check the manufacturing date of your tires, which is usually printed on the sidewall. As a rule of thumb, tires should not be used for more than ten years from their manufacturing date. By taking good care of your tires, you can prevent them from aging prematurely.

Tire price

While price is always a consideration, it's important to remember that cheaper tires often provide less performance and may wear out faster. Investing in high-quality winter tires for your SUV can provide better safety, performance, and potentially lower fuel consumption.
