About This Tire
The Nokian Encompass AW02 225/55R18 is an all-season tire designed for sedan, CUV, and SUV drivers who prioritize year-round versatility and reliable performance in varying weather conditions. Its directional tread design and advanced all-season compound focus on balancing grip in slippery conditions with consistent dry traction and long-term durability.
The tire features a directional tread pattern molded from an engineered all-season compound that meets three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) certification for severe snow service. Shoulder blocks incorporate sawtooth edges for enhanced braking in adverse weather, while their broad design increases tread stiffness for improved cornering characteristics under load. Twin circumferential grooves work alongside the tread pattern to channel water and maintain traction. Driver feedback points to strong wet and dry performance, with notable comfort levels and reliable treadwear characteristics in everyday use.
Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability while maintaining strong all-weather capability. Overall, it's a solid choice for sedans, crossovers, and SUVs used primarily for daily driving in regions that experience all four seasons but don't require dedicated winter tires.
