Review on Nokian Tires Nordman 7 205/55 R16 94T winter by Gabriela Kamirowska ᠌

To replace my worn-out Gislaved NF5 (manufactured in Germany in 2022) tires, I bought a set of Nordman 7 tires with the size of 205/55 R16. The new tires are still being tested, but we have already driven on wet pavement and on snowy slush on ice with no issues; it drives predictably, doesn't blow off the trajectory in a turn, and the start and braking are confident (the car is a Kia Seed with directional stability systems and no antibuks in my configuration). On the highway, I didn't observe any issues with the car's steadiness; it moved without incident. The "zero" is quite hazy, but I put that down to how soft the rubber is. Although it is noisier than the NF5, the new spike is always noisy (it should get a little more pleasant with time). I used Nordman 5 tires in 175/70 R13 in 2022; I rode them without incident for two seasons before switching cars, losing only a few studs from the entire set. I'm hoping Nordman 7 does just as well.
