Review on Nokian Tires Nordman 8 195/55 R16 91T winter by Michal Kucharski ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor quality, not worth the money.

tires I bought at the beginning of September, and these were the last remnants of a real khaki 8 (nenordman) with a lifetime warranty and for 4140/ piece in the amount of 185 / 65R14. In the store I compared it with Nordman 8: even without looking closely you can see the difference: the spikes are different, the sidewall and working surface are softer for deflection in Nordman, the rubber (material itself) is different to the touch. Yes, I have all the wheels from different batches and each one is at least a year old. But this is perhaps the only thing that can please the buyer of the Nordman or someone who is just now thinking about buying. AND IMPORTANT: (without focusing on gender) If someone else is looking after your tire pressure and you have already cut through the tires on potholes - take tires from any top brand, provided that it gives a lifetime warranty on conditions like Khaki. As a result, it will be cheaper than buying another tire later at your own expense or limping on a patched one.

Pros
  • test results are normal a lot of thorns drawing cute and the fact that these are tires that are produced by one of the recognized leaders in winter tires (and don’t understand who, like Hankook, who scored good reviews as a tire at a price of 2/3 of the price of the leaders, and then raised the price tag on par with Michelin, Nokia and Conti , and pretends that no one knows that the "legendary" 429 PyRS2 is spiked by local distributors and smaller tire dealers .
Cons
  • 1. PRICE jacked up due to shortage 2. Nokian SYSTEMATically provided specially prepared tires for tests, and now after all these scandals, falling sales, changes in management . it is trying to seriously pretend that its reputation has not suffered at all, that they are the same premium as before, and a brown puddle under their feet - it seemed to us 3. Very noisy (much noisier than the 200th NordFrosta), but not as noisy as the second KontiAysKontakt 4. No lifetime warranty like Khaki
