A good product, more pros than cons.

I bought tires of this brand for the first time, because I had always bypassed Nokian before (due to rumors about poor hernia resistance), but it was time to change Continental IceContact (which had 6 years of gentle operation) and decided to experiment (because the reviews were opposite - both good and bad) - check for yourself. In general, good tires, quite comfortable, manageable. I can’t say anything about wear resistance, the mileage is about 5000 km (1.5 seasons). In terms of noise, there is a clatter of thorns (like all studded ones) and a rumble that annoys me. Before that, I had never met humming tires. I have had Gislaved Nord Frost III, GOODYEAR Ultra Grip, Continental IceContact tires and have been happy with all of them. So - I think Nokian Nordman 7 is not the best choice.

Pros

- Comfort (well softens bumps in the road) - Handling - traction on snow and ice

Cons

- A strong hum, and I hoped that it would pass after the break-in, but no, I have already driven 5000 km, but the hum is present - at low speeds, barely noticeable, starting from 70 km - well audible. - Cost (taking into account the disadvantage should be lower)
