I did not immediately decide to buy this rubber, I was embarrassed by the reviews about the side drift. In fact, after the purchase, I carefully began to test it, intentionally exceeding the reasonable, according to sensations, speed on corners - as a result, I personally have no questions about demolition. It rows perfectly in the snow, compared to the previous Formula Ice tires, it accelerates over snow slush definitely faster. Nordman 8 is a bit noisier than the Formula, but it also performs better in the snow, i. E. naturally. But here it should also be noted that Formula Ice itself is a very quiet rubber. The formula suited me to the last, but for the 5th winter there were almost no spikes left and didn’t go uphill on clean ice, Nordman 8 as a whole, subjectively, is a little better than the Formula, but in snowy porridge and just a snowy road it definitely wins.
