Review on Nokian Tires Nordman RS2 205/55 R16 94R winter by Adam Koakowski ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not at all what I expected.Terrible!

I should start by stating that I drive a Chevrolet Lanos. First the front wheels, then two more the next season, I replaced the rubber on those wheels. There were Blizzak Revo GZ before that. Blizzak weren't particularly good, although I could have anticipated strong performance from Nokian. BUT! Fresh snow simply makes it impossible to brake. Even with light pedal power, the automobile starts to slide. Starting off is not challenging, but after letting off the pedal a little, you will crash either in first gear or second gear. And on the third, everything took place. I'm now writing a review while it isn't consistently below zero outside. But it's scary to drive. Yes, cornering handling is somewhat typical, but probably only because you brake 100 meters in advance because there is always a chance of skidding. never a carry. It is best to avoid driving faster than 40 km/h altogether if there is ice underneath the snow or out in the open. Keep your grip on the wheel like you did the last time. I'll say it again: THIS IS ALL being done at a temperature of roughly zero. On the other hand, does it make a difference? The handling and braking will probably get better when the frost comes, at which point I might submit a review. Noise: Like any Velcro, it creates an odd sound when applied to freshly laid asphalt. The sound is quieter and less audible as the temperature drops. However, it is noisier than Blizzak. Traveled out of loose snow fairly effectively quite a few occasions. She rows well, but you can't know that from her. high resistance to wear. Of course, I drive a little, but even the 8mm mark from my previous season's skating is still visible on the rubber. On asphalt, handling is not horrible, although you can feel the car build up in turns. It is simple to manage, predictable, and allows you to enter a skid. Sending a slip is also possible, but only if you attempt it. As a result, behavior on the pavement is predictable. In light of this, only use such rubber if cabin noise is crucial. She has so far failed to establish herself as a trustworthy rubber. looking more and more at studded tires.

Pros
  • It's still somewhat quiet, it's cheap, and it has good wear resistance. riding in unsecured snow
Cons
  • * Traction * Manageability * Riding in hot weather (below freezing and above)
