Review on Nokian Tires Nordman RS2 SUV 225/60 R18 104R winter by Jnis Kokins ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Well done, but I wont buy any more.

After they opened my garage just before the season and ripped off a pair of studded tires (gislaved nord frost 5), I decided to test Velcro (before to that, I had ridden on studs for all 10 years of my "driving life"). In general, I do not have any regrets about it; not only is the controllability adequate, but there is also no noise coming from the wheels, and there is no need to worry about the dropped spikes. In November of this year, there was already ice and snowfall, proving that winter is definitely coming to stay. Since I am based in the Urals (Hong Kong), the majority of my driving is done within the urban environment. KIA Sportage as the automobile.

Pros
  • compared to the spikes, the noise level inside the cabin was much reduced, although the handling was still enough for the city.
Cons
  • slippage when starting off, as well as a longer distance to travel before stopping, on ice
