Description of Nokian Tires Nordman RS2 SUV 225/60 R18 104R winter
The Nokian Tires Nordman RS2 SUV Nokian Tires Nordman RS2 SUV is a balanced and comfortable friction winter tire for difficult winter conditions. Reliable grip is maintained in all weather conditions. Thanks to the tread pattern and innovations in the rubber compound, the Nordman RS2 SUV tires are at the forefront of their class. Pump sipes improve traction. Brake boosters in the tread blocks improve grip when braking, especially on snow. Tires Nordman RS2 SUV in all sizes have a double textile cord. A rubber compound specially formulated for off-road use improves reliability and safety in winter.
Advantages and characteristics: 1) Effective at low temperatures rubber compoundThe tire tread is made of a rubber compound, the composition of which was selected taking into account the operating conditions of non-studded friction type winter models. Two-thirds of its composition is "silica". Moreover, its latest version, created on the basis of cryosilane, is used. This component allows the tread to maintain elasticity at very low ambient temperatures. Another feature is its increased resistance to heat. Thanks to this, the tire tread retains its properties at temperatures above 0 degrees Celsius, which gives it additional versatility. In turn, the ability to maintain elasticity at an optimal level over a wide temperature range allows the tire to demonstrate excellent handling and grip on slippery, icy winter and wet surfaces in spring.2) Multifunctional sipes in the shoulder areas Due to a number of design features, these elements perform a wide range of functions. In contact with the road surface, they form numerous edges that improve grip on icy surfaces. There are special cavities inside the lamellas, which, due to their drop-like shape, dry the contact patch, sucking water from the road surface. These miniature tread elements together form several thousand sharp edges that easily penetrate the water film on the ice surface, or simply cling to dense snow. In this case, it is worth noting the location of the lamellae almost at a right angle. This significantly increases the efficiency of their work when braking and accelerating. This feature is enhanced by the significant length of the lamellas in the shoulder areas and the central longitudinal rib.

Cons
- The price dropped by 1350 per bottle.
Pros
- pretty quiet resistant to wear
Cons
- Worse handling than summer Drive) Yokohama AC01
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
Pros
- Strength.
Pros
- Quiet, excellent road holding.
Cons
- Rigid.
Pros
- Very quiet, soft and comfortable.
Cons
- Not revealed yet.
Pros
- Price
Cons
- Noisy at speed 130+
Pros
- wear resistance Controllability Quietness
Cons
- I did not reveal any shortcomings during the six-year operation
Pros
- Excellent road holding, regardless of what is under the wheels. On ice, it slows down a little worse than a good studded one, but within reason. There is almost no rutting on this rubber. Ice drifts are predictable and easily correctable.
Cons
- makes noise on ice, the rumble is strong enough
Pros
- - There are no side skids with permanent all-wheel drive. - It allowed me to drive very quickly at -20 on the Hong Kong-Peter highway without a hint of skidding (up to 170 km / h) in sharp turns and pulling to the side of the road with two wheels. - At any speed, it is not audible (perhaps the silence of the arches is the reason for this). - Rowing in deep snow is pretty good. - On dry pavement, the feeling of summer tires is complete.
Cons
- - On ice, at a temperature of 0, -10, you feel the complete uselessness of this rubber: only full-time four-wheel drive allows you to get out of the icy rut in the parking lot. Slides and slides on clean ice in the most unexpected situations. - Despite the fact that at speed and in corners you feel perfect, when braking on porridge and ice, complete sadness: very often ABS works at low speeds.
Pros
- As far as I understand, Nordman is a domestic localization. But the quality is quite satisfying. The wheels are well balanced, megaweights are not hung on the floor of the wheel. They are not afraid of ruts, the drainage system is excellent, it removes slush and water from puddles with a bang. In snowdrifts, it rows with dignity and in full accordance with the class, after all, the “Scandinavian type”.
Cons
- For three seasons I caught one puncture. Maybe just unlucky, but in the winter on other different tires I never punctured. Put a patch, not critical. At positive temperatures, it “floats”, especially when overstaying and at high speeds, it is felt.
Pros
- Quiet and soft rubber Democratic price
Cons
- I haven’t found it yet, I’ll skate the winter and add a review Likes to collect fine gravel
Pros
- It rows well on loose snow, does not tan in frost -40, quiet, good braking on snow.
Cons
- On the ice, you have to be very careful, still no spikes.
Pros
- Quiet, excellent handling on dry pavement. Rows normally in off-road porridge and "deep snow".
Cons
- Not for ice. When turning on icy asphalt, it will skid - be careful!
Pros
- Good braking, starts from any surface easily. They don't dub.
Cons
- So far, there's nothing to complain about.
Pros
- Value for money, soft, not noisy, good “rowing” on loose snow, stable on rolled snow, not bad on ice.
Cons
- It was poorly balanced (“changed shoes” at one of the best services in Hong Kong), and two are very disgusting, the other two are more or less. On loose snow (on asphalt) demolition during sharp turns.
