Nitto NT-SN2 is a non-studded winter tire for passenger vehicles. Its unique computer-designed tread pattern features five ribs that help to bite into snow and ice for better confident drive. Lateral grooves on shoulders also add biting edges for better grip on the snowy roads. The continuous center rib and 3D multiwave sipes enhance stability and grip when accelerating or braking, while silica-based tread compound improves traction and control, and resists hardening in cold weather climates. Nitto's four circumferential grooves effectively channel water away from the tire's footprint to enhance the traction and better handling on wet surfaces.
