Review on Nokian Tires Nordman RS2 205/55 R16 94R winter by Micha Skolimowski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A practical product, nothing to complain about.

Ford Focus 2 with 2.0l automatic and new styling. In Hong Kong. It's hard to compare because this is my first winter tire without studs. tires that are entirely different from spiked tires. Driving conditions on ice and snow are objectively worse, especially when there is a lot of both. But! You will know you made the correct choice after everything melts and the cold, wet, and rainy winter of St. Petersburg sets in. As you are aware, I purchased it for a vacation to Hungary, where spikes are prohibited. For Europe, the best tires. There, spikes are not required. On nice, even, dry, and clean highways, fire usually occurs (it's unfortunate that there are only one or one and a half in our nation). Quite quiet. utterly predictable, much like NTV serials. Everything is obvious, and the braking is superb. The automobile braked repeatedly from the slides, as if it were rooted to the spot, even with four people inside and a loaded trunk. This is a catastrophe: yards buried in snow, ice, snowdrifts on country roads. If you don't have ABS and ESP, I wouldn't suggest these tires. For people who live in the suburbs or the north (really, where there is a lot of snow, ice, and bears), I would not recommend it at all. In snow, ESP always functions. On ice, stopping distance can be very risky. In most cases, Peter will work. Be cautious once winter arrives and all of its implications. This isn't spikes on ice and snow, but it's also not summer tires either.

Pros
  • Compared to summer Michelin Primacy, there is significantly less noise. Very foreseeable. There were no problems discovered over 5000 kilometers. 8, like new wear indication. Dry asphalt maintains its stability nicely at speeds up to 160 km/h (I didn't go much faster).
Cons
  • All issues begin with snow. This rubber-snow combination is unbeatable. The worse the snow, the deeper it is. If there is snow or ice, usually a pipe. Braking is quite difficult when driving on ice (I didn't plan for anything else). Swims in warm water - not a problem, you grow used to it.
