How do summer and winter tires for vans differ from each other?
There is a number of factors that distinguish high-quality summer and winter tires from each other. One of the most important differences between these two types of tires is their tread pattern. The winter tire tread pattern is designed to provide superior grip on ice, snow, and slush.
The rubber compound used in winter tires also differs from the material used in summer tires. Whereas a winter tire retains its properties even in cold and freezing temperatures, a summer tire hardens and is more susceptible to damage. The rubber compound in high-quality winter tires is flexible at low temperatures so the tire performs even in freezing temperatures and when driving on uneven surfaces.

Take good care of your van and motorhome tires
When it comes to heavier vehicles like vans and motorhomes, the tire has to withstand a greater load than lighter passenger car tires. In addition to being heavier than passenger cars, van tires also require higher tire pressures. This helps prevent tire damage under the vehicle's heavy load.
Make sure that your van tires have the right level of air pressure in the winter, as colder temperatures may require you to use higher tire pressure. Check the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation from the owner’s manual.
The load on the tires of vans is increased not only by their heavy body but also by the transported cargo. In addition, vans are often driven on bumpy and poorly maintained roads. Driving with reliable Nokian Tyres van winter tires helps you stay safe on the road, even in winter. Remember to maintain your winter tires by checking tire pressures and the tread depth of your tires.
Van tires reinforced with aramid fiber are more durable and can better withstand shocks and cuts. The aramid-reinforced sidewalls of the tires reduce the risk of tire damage and make driving safer.
