Nokian Heavy Tyres has launched a new tire with innovative features for urban excavation. The Nokian Armor Gard 2 is designed to start a new era of excavation work in city environments all over the world.

The key issues of urban excavation are well-known: how to ensure safety and stability even in the most demanding tasks, and how to prevent tires from wearing rapidly when the on-road transitions are long. The world-class product development team of Nokian Heavy Tyres resolved these issues with a next-generation premium tire. As the result, the new Nokian Armor Gard 2 offers all the features the urban excavation work needs the most.

Nokian Armor Gard 2 presents better stability and improved lifetime compared to previous generation of Armor Gard tires. It is vertically 25 percent stiffer – this robust carcass design enables optimally stable and smooth excavation work. The new wider tread design of the Nokian Armor Gard 2 lowers the contact pressure as well and makes the tire more hard-wearing. This combined with 12 percent more rubber to wear gives the tire a longer life and strong duration even on tarmac.
Nokian Armor Gard 2 is an excellent example of the power of the innovation process. The more rectangular shape of the tire takes the stability to the next level. With Armor Gard 2 the on-road transitions from one site to another are quiet and pleasant. Its precise handling is ideal even for the most demanding tasks.

Main features
– Excellent for long-distance transitions on the highway
