Competitors

The Nokian Wetproof is a well-balanced summer tyre that performs well on both dry and wet roads. It provides good feedback to the driver on dry surfaces, offers safe driving in the limit range, and has short braking distances on dry roads. On wet roads, the tyre offers good grip and braking performance, with good aquaplaning longitudinally, but limited grip laterally.

In terms of sustainability, however, the Wetproof has some weaknesses, with a mediocre rating for its expected mileage and wear. Additionally, its environmental performance is only rated as satisfactory, despite being lightweight and having a low fuel consumption.

While the Wetproof offers solid performance on dry roads, it is less agile than some other tyres in its class and tends to understeer early. That being said, it does not react strongly to changes in load with the rear axle.

Overall, the Nokian Wetproof is a top performer in wet conditions, making it a quick choice for wet road driving. However, it may not be the optimal choice for less experienced drivers because of its challenging handling on the limit in rainy conditions.

Sizes

Nokian WetProof is made in 47 sizes, starting from 175/65 R14 up to 195/55 R20.

Nokian WetProof in tyre tests

ADAC Summer tyre test 2023 205/55 R16
good
Ranked #5 of 50
Securing a commendable 5th place among 50 competitors, the Nokian Wetproof tire stood out for its balanced performance, excelling on both wet and dry surfaces, and its efficiency. Despite its positive attributes, it was noted for its environmental footprint shortcomings, such as lower than anticipated tread life and wear, and minor sustainability concerns. Its driving safety features were highlighted, with strong performance on dry roads, providing excellent steering feedback, safety at the limit, and impressive braking distances. Its performance on wet roads was also praised, with good ratings in braking tests, longitudinal aquaplaning, and handling, though its lateral aquaplaning performance only achieved a satisfactory rating. On the environmental side, its efficiency gained a good rating due to its light tire weight and low fuel consumption, but it received only a satisfactory mark for its environmental impact based on tread life and wear. Overall, the Nokian Wetproof was awarded a final rating of 'Good'.
