Review on Nokian Tires Nordman 7 SUV 215/70 R16 100T winter by Adam Edison ᠌

You know, I don't often write reviews, but I couldn't resist. By itself, the rubber justifies both the price and the brand. No obvious shortcomings were found. I set the noise level at random, since in conditions of pulled out sound insulation, without lockers and with an off-road trunk, it is difficult to assess tire noise (Renault Duster car, dimension 215/65/16). But it doesn't bother me. What pleasantly surprised in rubber. 1) Strength. At a speed of about 50 km / h, I did not notice the open hatch, where I flew in on a loaded car. The rear disc is scrap. THE TIRE IS NOT BREAKED. Actually, this case forced me to write a review. There was no side cut of the cord, the rubber is in its third year. After that, I realized that apart from Nokia, I don’t consider any rubber for myself for the winter. 2) Wear resistance. The previous set operated for 6 years, after which 50% of the spikes were intact and the tread allowed to go further. The new car had a different wheel size, so I gave the old set along with the old car (total mileage for 6 years is 245,000 km. I guess that at least a third was in winter (I like to go on long-distance ski tours by car). 3) Features of off-road operation. Holds diagonal very well. really drive (slowly and carefully) "on the sides" of the frozen track and not collapse anywhere. One of the best off-road winter tires. 4) No problems with handling in winter at speeds up to 100 km / h on any surface (ice, porridge, "winter road", ruts, heterogeneous surface) behaves adequately and predictably, forgives mistakes. Expected - worst of all on asphalt, but, in general, again tolerable and adequate. I don’t drive over 100 km / h in winter, so I can’t say anything about that range. 5) Allows you to drive without straining and on dry asphalt in the city. Of the relative minuses: it is often pierced with screws, nails, rebar, but the minus is relative, since 95% of punctures are off public roads, and in comparison with summer m / t or extreme, the strength is obviously and logically less.
