Review on Nokian Tires Nordman 7 185/65 R15 92T winter by Stanislaw Rogulski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

Unfortunately, this is the case when the advertit promised very high quality, but this is only a promise…… In general, ordinary rubber with very average performance. Balances without problems. The steering wheel does not hit, the spikes are in place after 3 seasons (about 20 thousand mileage). Feel confident on wet and dry pavement on the highway. Not bad performance in severe frost -15-20C Terrible performance in loose snow Terrible performance when ping long turns and ramps interchanges, longitudinal slip is constant Terrible performance on wet slush. You need to drive very carefully on this rubber, it is absolutely impossible to provoke slipping, then you will not catch it. Only a very smooth dosage of gas, and the same brake, otherwise the ABS just uselessly crackles and there is no slowdown. I tried to play with pressure (from 1.8 to 2.3), no result. It didn’t have a strong influence on the hook, but it chatters along the track. Left 2.2. In general, the verdict is this: there is no miracle of technology, it’s not worth the money for sure, just ordinary rubber and that’s it. It turned out to at a discount, well, no, then there is no point in chasing. And yes, I drove 4 seasons on Nordman 5, definitely better and more predictable behavior than model 7 in all respects, although there were much fewer spikes. I didn't really know what it was to get stuck. This winter, they pulled out 7 times already five times. I'm not very happy, I don't dissuade you, it's up to you. But personally I will change

Pros
  • Good handling on dry/wet pavement. Average performance on ice
Cons
  • Absolutely none when cornering. Wet snow porridge is not her element at all
