Talk:Nokian Tyres

GA nomination
Reason for nomination: vastly improved from stub to a well referenced article. There are also very few good articles about Finland or companies in the tire or car business. Also, I went over the GA criteria. Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 20:26, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

picture found
I just added a reference from Canadian Driver magazine. In that article, there's a picture of the tread of a Nokian tyre. I just saw a similar picture in another Wikipedia article so that's a nice thing to add here! Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 02:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Questions/comments
Suomi Finland 2009 asked me to check this article for readability. I did some formatting and minor edits. I think it it reads OK. I do have some questions and comments though.


 * In the History section this is mentioned: "The Hakkapeliitta tyre name was started in 1936 and some tyres sold under the Nokian tyre name still use the Hakkapeliitta model name." Does this mean that some tyre models include "Hakkapeliitta" in their name or something more?
 * Is there anything worth mentioning with the Ordabasy - Nokian Tyres JSC joint venture & the planned factory?
 * In the Products section, does the "sold in over 60 countries" include the license/contract produced tyres?
 * The first sentence in the Vianor tyre chain section is long. Maybe split up the total number or something.  Also, United States not is mentioned twice about outlets.  This seems redundant.
 * The part about Nokian ending the contracted work in Romania due to quality issues appears to be uncited. That needs a reference or just remove the quality part.

Thanks, I'll keep a watch on this for a little while. -Fnlayson (talk) 06:38, 10 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the advice. There are tyres such as the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 5 and the Nokian Hakkapeliitta GR-W.  Most tyres are Nokian Hakkapeliitta-something but there are a few Nokian tyres without the Hakkapeliitta name.  The reason (can't find citation) is that for many years, the winter tyres were sold as Hakkapeliitta 9 and Hakkapeliitta 10, and other names without the Nokian part.  Many countries sell both Finnish and contracted tyres, like the U.S.  Fixing the rest, of the 5, done: 1 3 4 5   will do: the rest. Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 16:27, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

possible new things to add
The Nokian-owned Vianor AB tire retail chain plans to partner with Amring Verkstader AB in Sweden.(Contract, licenses) Article from: Rubber World Article date: June 1, 2006 9 Swedish outlets to be Vianor as well as other outlets sell Nokian

http://www.talouselama.fi/sijoittaminen/article156678.ece Rantanen, Esko, [Raskaat renkaat tuovat tuloksen (Heavy Duty Tyres Bring Results)] Talouselämä 10 May 2006 Amring is private Amring will sell Nokian Differs from previous strategy of Vianor buying small tire shops. Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 16:44, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Featured?
I'm guessing you'd like to bring this up to Featured status. To do that we'll need to make the references all consistently formatted, which I'll work on as time allows. I've made some small improvements as well. It's well written for the most part and I think most of the work will be entering autoconverts for measurement and formatting the references. &lt;&gt;Multi‑Xfer&lt;&gt; (talk) 09:59, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Reference style
Unless there is discussion otherwise (I seem to be talking to myself), I suggest the following reference style (see footnote 2)

Early corporate predecessors of Nokian Tyres are the Nokia Aktiebolag (Nokia Company) and Suomen Gummitehdas Oy (Finnish Rubber Works Ltd).< ref name="First century"> Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 17:13, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Official reference style
For the last few months, few have edited. I am willing to discuss formatting references but we should do it the same.

May I suggest http://toolserver.org/~magnus/makeref.php AND THEN manually replacing archive date with accessdate. This will make a reference appear like this

Louka, H. (2006-09-03). "Winter Tire Test: Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi". Canadian Driver. http://www.canadiandriver.com/2006/03/09/winter-tire-test-nokian-hakkapeliitta-rsi.htm. Retrieved 2010-06-08.

Orphaned references in Nokian Tyres
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Nokian Tyres's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "AR2015": From Elisa (company):  From Cargotec: https://newsclient.omxgroup.com/cds/DisclosureAttachmentServlet?showInline=true&messageAttachmentId=547181 

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 10:46, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Some proposed changes
The information on the Wikipedia page on Nokian Tyres is outdated, I would kindly ask you to update the information. Here are the links to relevant sites: Our CEO as of end of May 2020 is Jukka Moisio The Head of Board is Jukka Hienonen Bridgestone is not our largest stakeholder, Solidium is: The Financial Information section is severly outdated, it names Kim Grahn as the President and CEO. We have had 3 different CEO's since him. Profits are from 2010. Very old. Here you can find updated information: The share of net sales geographically is from 2008. Please update these, you can find the relevant numbers from here: We have a new factory in Dayton, Tennessee, please update this information as well: We have three different test centers: Ivalo and Nokia in Finland and a new one in Spain: https://www.nokiantires.com/innovation/testing/ Vianor-chain section is also outdated, we no longer have Vianor's in the US: At the end of 2020, the Vianor network included a total of 1,117 service centers in 17 countries. The NAD network operated in 24 countries with 2,282 stores. The N-Tyre network covered 124 stores in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus. Contract product of tires section is also outdated: " With an increase in tyre demand as a result of improving economies, Nokian is considering increasing production as well as outsourcing additional tyre manufacture in Asia.[83]" This is 11 years old. Since we have built a new factory in the US.
