Review on Nokian Tires Nordman RS2 SUV 225/60 R18 104R winter by Wiktor Sakowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nothing unusual, normal product.

I have a Grand Vitara 5d, fulltime four-wheel drive with a whole set of electronic assistants: ESP, TCS, EBD, BOS, BA, anti-bux, etc. Perhaps only due to this, this rubber allows you to drive extremely fast in any weather. But the possibilities on ice are simply depressing: on the last car (Peugeot 206 sedan) I had Bridgestone x-ice north2: I did not experience any problems with parking on ice, and rowing in the snow be healthy. You need to brake at speed on this rubber very early and wisely (it took a long time to learn on a new car): I almost drove into one eccentric when he abruptly changed lanes without a turn signal; I had to jump onto the curb at a speed of 40, because the ABS simply did not let me slow down adequately quickly. By next winter I will take tires only on spikes. It's a pity Nokian LT is no longer produced (as far as I understand).

Pros
  • - There are no side skids with permanent all-wheel drive. - It allowed me to drive very quickly at -20 on the Hong Kong-Peter highway without a hint of skidding (up to 170 km / h) in sharp turns and pulling to the side of the road with two wheels. - At any speed, it is not audible (perhaps the silence of the arches is the reason for this). - Rowing in deep snow is pretty good. - On dry pavement, the feeling of summer tires is complete.
Cons
  • - On ice, at a temperature of 0, -10, you feel the complete uselessness of this rubber: only full-time four-wheel drive allows you to get out of the icy rut in the parking lot. Slides and slides on clean ice in the most unexpected situations. - Despite the fact that at speed and in corners you feel perfect, when braking on porridge and ice, complete sadness: very often ABS works at low speeds.
