Review on Nokian Tires Nordman 7 205/55 R16 94T winter by Barbara Budna ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

I had avoided Nokian tires in the past due to hearsay regarding their hernia-resistance, but when it came time to replace my Continental IceContact tires (6 years of mild use), I decided to give them a try despite mixed reviews (good and bad). Good tires overall; easy to drive and ride on. Having just driven it for around 5,000 kilometers (1.5 seasons), I cannot comment on its durability. The noise is bothersome, since there is a clatter of thorns (as with all studded ones) and a rumble. Humming tires were something I'd never encountered before. Tires from Gislaved (Nord Frost III), GOODYEAR (Ultra Grip), and Continental (IceContact) have all served me well. Therefore, I do not believe that Nokian Nordman 7 is the finest option.

Pros
  • ease (it smooths out the ride) Traction on snow and ice, for improved handling.
Cons
  • There is a persistent hum; I had hoped it would fade away after the initial break-in period of five thousand kilometers, but alas, it remains audible at speeds of seventy kilometers per hour and above. - Price (which, bearing the drawback in mind, ought to be reduced).
