Review on Nokian Tires Nordman RS2 SUV 225/60 R18 104R winter by Wiktor Gajewski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

Rubber was a gift with the car upon purchase (Mercedes-Benz GLC 250 4Matic). I always rode on spikes (Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 5000 then Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 7000), so there were concerns at first, because. I often drive around the region in the direction of Hong Kong, and there is something on the roads that just doesn’t happen. I will say right away that I was worried in vain, everything is very predictable and understandable. I don’t know if the secret is in the car (this is my first Mercedes) or in rubber, but I don’t feel much discomfort on the road. And on dry pavement, nothing but joy (if only to raise the speed ceiling, and in general it would be good)))). But of course you have to turn your head on. On bare ice, the spike gave much more confidence, especially in corners. But in general, I used to keep the distance in bad conditions with a margin and constantly monitor handling, so that unpleasant situations can be avoided. In general, I am so pleased with the rubber that I took it for the second car for the winter. So I recommend.

Pros
  • As far as I understand, Nordman is a domestic localization. But the quality is quite satisfying. The wheels are well balanced, megaweights are not hung on the floor of the wheel. They are not afraid of ruts, the drainage system is excellent, it removes slush and water from puddles with a bang. In snowdrifts, it rows with dignity and in full accordance with the class, after all, the “Scandinavian type”.
Cons
  • For three seasons I caught one puncture. Maybe just unlucky, but in the winter on other different tires I never punctured. Put a patch, not critical. At positive temperatures, it “floats”, especially when overstaying and at high speeds, it is felt.
