Competitors

Based on multiple test results, the Nokian Powerproof summer tyre possesses good aquaplaning properties, convincing dynamic wet handling, and short braking distances. However, some tests revealed delayed steering response and reduced stability on dry surfaces. The tyre has limited durability, but it offers good neutral to understeering safety performance and is easy to control on wet roads. It also impresses with its precision and agility in dry corners. The main downside is the weak aquaplaning safety and singing noises during rolling and cornering on wet roads. Overall, the Nokian Powerproof is a reliable tyre suitable for everyday use and various summer weather conditions, except for heavy rain. The tyre is relatively expensive, according to one test. Tests were conducted by Autobild and Automotorsport using different tyre dimensions, 215/55 R17 and 245/45 R19, respectively.

Sizes

Nokian Powerproof is made in 53 sizes, starting from 205/50 R17 up to 275/45 R20.

Ranked #6 of 10
Securing the 6th place among 10 competitors, the Nokian Powerproof tire was recognized with a 'Good' rating, underlining its suitability for daily use across all summer weather conditions, with the only notable shortfalls arising during heavy rain. Testers praised the tire for its neutral to understeering behavior, which remained driver-active with reserves in wet conditions, making it spontaneous, precise, and easy to control in dry turns. However, they noted deficiencies in aquaplaning safety and reported a faint, singing noise during handling. A standout feature of the Nokian Powerproof was its dry steering response, where it performed exceptionally well, setting a benchmark in this discipline. This balance of characteristics makes it a commendable choice for a wide range of summer driving conditions, despite its vulnerabilities in extremely wet weather.
