Review on Nokian Tires Nordman 7 185/65 R15 92T winter by Michal Dobiasz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

I bought a set of Nordman 7 dimensions 205/55 R16 to replace the tired Gislaved NF5 (made in Germany in 2022). The new tires are still being tested, but we have already managed to drive both on wet asphalt and on snowy slush on ice - there were no problems, it drives predictably, it doesn’t blow off the trajectory in a turn, the start and braking are confident (the car is a Kia seed, directional stability systems and there is no antibuks in my configuration). I didn’t notice any problems in road stability on the highway - the car goes smoothly. There is some indistinctness in the "zero", but I attribute it to the softness of the rubber. The noise level is slightly higher than the NF5, but the new spike is always noisy (it should become a little more comfortable over time). In 2022, I had experience using Nordman 5 in 175/70 R13 - I rode them without problems for two seasons before changing the car, losing only a couple of studs from the whole set. I hope Nordman 7 will perform just as well.

Pros
  • 1. Balanced performance based on test results (asphalt, ice, snow). 2. Democratic price. 3. The softness of the rubber, the quality of the fit of the spikes. 4. Action - free tire fitting + extended warranty for a year.
Cons
  • Compared to the previous Gislaved NF5 winter spike, the new Nordman 7 still makes more noise on asphalt.
