Review on Nokian Tires Nordman 7 185/65 R15 92T winter by Mateusz Wycech ᠌

I am writing my impressions based on the current temperatures in Hong Kong time -1.+4 Dimension 185/60 R15, front-wheel drive car. I ran it 800-900 km. at that time the rumble was just terrible, now I have traveled 1200 km, it has become a little quieter. As noted earlier, braking on asphalt is disgusting, it’s hard to predict deceleration: with the same pressure on the pedal, it can adequately slow down or go further, so you have to push harder (that’s why I brake on it in advance). From the point of view of controllability, the rubber is wadded (like the previous Nokian in different degrees of wadding), that is, a clear zero on the steering wheel is lost with increasing speed, driving faster than 130 km / h is uncomfortable, there is little feedback, the reactions to the steering wheel are lubricated, in turns there is a tendency to demolition. At the start, slippage occurs: rarely on dry asphalt, often on wet asphalt, while it was running in, it slipped very often, although I didn’t press it particularly sharply. From the point of view of strength, it does not raise questions: the spikes are all in place, the lamellas are intact, everything around the spikes is also in place. On water and snow porridge rides fine, if you go straight. Braking and steering response improve quite a bit at -1.0 My opinion is that tires are not for residents of megacities, where the driving is mainly on dry / wet asphalt. In sparsely populated areas, at constantly low temperatures, along country roads, it will show itself well, the spikes and tread pattern indicate this. And yes, some argue that this rubber is a copy of Hakki 7 - nonsense, Nordman second division Nokian, hence the price and worse properties. I will change mine for tires of the first division.
