The name brand lured me in, but the rubber was all there. I haven't ridden on anything quite like the Nokian Nordman 7 SUV, but from what little experience I do have, I can say that amtels, cordians, and other studded China tires offer superior performance. It's terrifying to navigate the highway in this vehicle since it desperately wants to skid in turns but "floats" in a straight line. For a gloomy commute, I'd call this urban rubber. The wheels are balanced, although they are obviously not very round to the heap because the steering wheel vibrates at speeds of 70–75 mph. The review is based on the author's experience with all-wheel drive tires, which is terrifying when considering how they would perform on a car with only front-wheel drive. A 215 mm x 65 mm x 16 mm rectangle. I can't say that I'd take this money without hesitation, and Nordman is now far down my list of possible employers.
