Nokian Nordman 7 185/65 R15, automobile Lada Vesta SW Tire designed for use on asphalt or other level ground. Extremely challenging for winter tires. On unstable ground, such as uneven ground, snow that has been knurled into bumps, ice, etc. Tosses to the side on a consistent basis. When sliding to the side of the ice, such as when getting into a rut, the spikes on the ice do not grip at all. In the yard, there are certain tight spots that make it terrifying to pass other automobiles. I contrast it with the previous generation of Pirelli Carving Edge tires. I do not recommend it for locations that have a true winter with a significant amount of snowfall. When it comes to winter driving, asphalt is not a terrible alternative in areas of the country where there is minimal snow and where most of the winter is spent.
