About This Tire

The Nokian Encompass AW02 235/65R17 is an all-season tire designed for sedan, CUV, and SUV drivers who prioritize year-round versatility and severe weather capability in everyday driving. Its directional tread design and advanced all-season compound focus on balancing grip in slippery conditions with consistent dry traction and extended tread life.

The tire features a directional tread pattern molded from an engineered all-season compound, with shoulder blocks that include sawtooth edges for enhanced braking in adverse weather and broad designs that support tread stiffness for improved cornering under load. Twin circumferential grooves work alongside the tread elements to manage water evacuation, and the tire meets industry severe snow service requirements, earning the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. Driver feedback points to strong wet and dry performance, with comfort and durability ratings reflecting its grand touring design philosophy.

Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability while maintaining all-weather capability. Overall, it's a solid choice for sedans, crossovers, and SUVs used primarily for daily driving and highway travel in regions that experience varied seasonal conditions but don't require dedicated winter tires.
