Review on Nokian Tires Nordman RS2 185/65 R15 92R winter by Wiktor Malczyk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

I drive a KIA spectrum, without ABS and other course electronics. I live near the city (where they clean and sprinkle less often). My routes are 50% in the city, 50% outside the city bypassing federal highways. The rubber justified itself, for two winters there was not a single risk of loss of control, it never even went skidding (with proper braking, of course) I drove home early in the morning. The military road is winding, in some places turns at 90 degrees. I stopped near the house, I go out to open the gate and fall. The ice is so hard to get tired on the legs. I drove without problems on such a winding road and did not even realize that it was so slippery. He stormed small snowdrifts, confidently walks (this is when he is too lazy to clean the race from snow, or the services cleaned only the main street). The last winter was snowy, all services were thrown on federal highways, and regional highways under a large layer of loose snow, in some places whole snowdrifts blew from the fields. So I drove quietly along these roads at 80 - 90 km / h (keep the main steering wheel firmly so that it doesn’t throw anywhere because of loose snow). The ability to properly use front-wheel drive and this rubber will not let you down (checked). Wet road (straight, with smooth turns), sat on someone's tail on the highway. And I didn’t even notice how we were already driving 160. Quite comfortable and responsive control. There are a couple of nuances. Rubber, though soft, but in cold weather starts to work at 100%, after warming up. I do not recommend using when it is already warm +10 and above. The rubber becomes very soft, the car floats a little, the risk of lateral hernia increases. There is also a whistle of rubber when turning a little fast. In general, the driving experience and this rubber creates a direct idyll with the car. But do not think that any rubber can prevent your blunders!

Pros
  • Soft (small cracks and bumps on the road are almost not felt) Wear resistant Good grip
Cons
  • Weak sidewall (I advise you to take it with the XL marking "reinforced sidewall") Starts to float a little in the glue (but grip is retained)
