Nokian Tyres

[MYFAMILYCARS]

I have just replaced both the front tyres on my Subaru Legacy with the new pattern Nokian WR A4 215/45R17 91 V XL.

I am informed by Oponeo, the supplier, when I questioned that the half moon treads go in opposite directions ( see the attached photo) that this is correct and is the latest technology.

You might get better responses in the Subaru sub-forum rather than the Porsche section... or maybe contact Nokian themselves.

Yep, totally correct.

Just make sure the word "outside" is on the outside and you'll have mounted them correctly

I noticed this recently on the new rear tyres on my new rear 911 tyres and thought it odd.

Why would you put winters on in the middle of summer?

It's called a winterization plan. When I worked with the United Nations in the summer and temperatures of 35C every day, the focus of the work was preparing for winter by repairing heaters, replacing glazing on windows and stockpiling winter clothing and bedding.
