Review on Nokian Tires Nordman 8 205/55 R16 94T winter by Jnis Pimberis ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I do not recommend spending your money on this.

I purchased a set of four 185/65R14 tires from the final remaining stock of a genuine khaki 8 (nenordman) at the beginning of September for $4140. I compared it to Nordman 8 in the store and could tell right away that it was different without even looking closely. The spikes were shorter on Nordman 8, the sidewall and working surface were more flexible in Nordman 8, and the rubber (the actual material) felt different. Yes, I have all the wheels, and they're all at least a year old and from various batches. This, however, is probably the only item that will satisfy a Nordman buyer or someone considering making a purchase right now. AND IMPORTANT: (not making any assumptions based on gender) if you have already sliced through your tires due to potholes, and someone else will be responsible for checking the pressure, then you should choose tires from any top brand that offers a lifetime warranty on conditions like Khaki. This will save you money compared to the cost of a new tire or driving on a patched one.

Pros
  • We found no abnormalities in our tests. issues with the "legendary" 429 PyRS2 being spiked by local distributors and smaller tire dealers, as well as the fact that they are manufactured by one of the recognized leaders in winter tire production (and don't understand who, like Hankook, who scored good reviews as a tire at a price 2/3 of the price of the leaders, and then raised the price tag on par with Michelin, Nokia, and Conti).
Cons
  • SHORTAGE CAUSES PRICE INCREASE 1. After all the controversies, plummeting sales, and changes in management, Nokian SYSTEMATICALLY offered specially prepared tires for tests. it seems to be making a concerted effort to conceal the damage to its reputation, insisting that its premiums have not changed and that it is business as usual. Third, it's louder than the two hundredth NordFrosta but quieter than the second KontiAysKontakt. 4. Unlike Khaki, there is no lifelong guarantee
