Nokian Renkaat - Company Announcement

NOKIAN TYRES' FIRST QUARTER 2008

Nokian Tyres plc Stock Exchange Release April 4, 2008 at 10.35


NOKIAN TYRES' FIRST QUARTER 2008

Due to the discussion in the public, Nokian Tyres wants to clarify the
situation and to correct possible misunderstandings. 

The year 2008 has started as planned and the order book is clearly higher than
in the previous year. 

Nokian Tyres' sales during the first quarter are higher than in 2007, but lower
than in the other quarters of the year due to the normal seasonality. 

The company is positioned to achieve strong growth in sales with improved
profits in 2008.
