Review on Nokian Tires Nordman 7 185/65 R15 92T winter by Janis Skrindzevskis ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

I chose for a long time, smoked forums, reviews . I was at a crossroads . either try hankuk or take this one. size 185/60 R14. before that there was kumho, marshal (aka kumho) of yokohama. I went to the store without deciding exactly, but when I touched it tactilely, I realized that the hankuk at +8 was oak on the street, and the Nordman was soft and pleasant. skated a full winter, drove a large 30 thousand miles. according to the result, it holds the road perfectly in fresh snow, to the best of reason . you can also sink 120 in a fierce snowfall and then say that the rubber is not a good car fidgeting along the road. Let's remain realistic, you can drive in a hard snowfall of 80 km h without straining . but you don't need more. on the roads of central 2022 it accelerated to 160 km h, no problems. everything is straight forward. excellent on ice, starts uphill, climbs out of the rut without problems. brakes predictably, without unexpected breakdowns. it goes into a skid just as predictably and, surprisingly, of course, it retains controllability from and to in a skid . on kumho, if the car was torn into a skid, it was much more difficult to return the trajectory . it holds pits, flew in, there were no problems . I bent the disk, the wheel deflated, but there was no trace on the rubber. For 30 thousand km I lost 5 spikes from two wheels. the rear ones were like new. 60% of the spikes flew out on the kumho during this time. one thing that initially confused me, immediately after changing the shoes, I was driving dry through the city, drove around the hole sharply and it felt like the rear wheels were flattened and wobbled like that. but it's more like a hundred-year-old rubber is tough, it's about 8 heat outside and a sharp contrast. noise after 1000 km became much less. good tires, left a good impression. stood on the prior, and as you know on the basins to improve handling except for rubber in any way. If you have a question, I would definitely recommend her. the second car has a Nordman RS clutch. but that is a crossover, heavier and all-wheel drive. rubber is also fire, used to be called hakkapelita R. take it, you will be satisfied. went to Hakka 8 difference 0!

Pros
  • they hold the road well on fresh snow, they don’t swim in the rain, it seemed that at + 5C in a deep puddle they showed themselves better than a summer toyo. excellent braking on ice. soft, comfortable. The price is also an undoubted plus of this rubber.
Cons
  • I did not like the behavior of rubber on dry at temperatures above +10. the feeling that the wheels were lowered from behind . well, this was purely subjective immediately after changing shoes from the summer. in the future, with each kilometer, only positive impressions were added.
