Nokian Tires Nordman 8 225/40 R18 92T winter Review

Offering balanced performance on snow and ice, Nokian Nordman 8 is a studded winter tire for small family hatchbacks, sports sedans and coupes that the manufacturer positions as a budget and quality alternative to products from the flagship Hakkapeliitta line. Motorists who choose to use Nordman tires will probably appreciate their predictability and precision in slippery conditions, as well as traction in warmer weather. The novelty of the winter season 2021/2022 Nokian Nordman 8 (Nokian Nordman 8) received a directional symmetrical design of the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 model, which at one time topped the ratings of independent comparative tests of European publications. At the same time, in the model range, it will replace the Nokian Nordman 7 tires, launched into mass production four years earlier. The Eco Stud 8 stud concept is responsible for the high level of longitudinal and lateral grip properties of the Nordman 8, adapting to changeable winter weather. thereby softening their impact on the road surface. The optimized placement of the anti-skid studs throughout the tread has given the Nokian Nordman 8 maximum grip on ice, so that the driver can predict the car''s behavior on slippery surfaces when changing lanes and during overtaking. A hard layer of rubber compound under a layer adapted to low winter temperatures securely fixes the studs in the tread blocks, and also stabilizes handling on dry, cleared surfaces. The updated wear-resistant rubber compound helps the tires withstand prolonged increased loads on rough roads. Eco Stud cushioning pads reduce rolling noise and extend stud life. Nordman 8 is factory studded to ensure the quality and durability of both tires and studs. The brake boosters located on the back of the tread blocks contribute to the increase in tire grip during braking. Their serrated pattern increases the contact surface, which, in fact, improves traction, especially on snow. Self-locking 3D sipes increase the rigidity of the wide blocks in the shoulder sections, says a Shina Guide technician. This solution improves handling in corners and the accuracy of Nokian Nordman 8 reactions during sharp maneuvers. Support diagonal three-dimensional sipes in the central part of the tread increase the structural rigidity of the tire, so that it responds faster to steering turns, thereby guaranteeing precise and safe handling.
