Review on Nokian Tires Nordman 7 205/55 R16 94T winter by Aneta Pa ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

The tire is excellent in most respects, but it does have some subtleties that must be taken into mind. According to the snow and ice crust, this is an excellent option for those who live in Siberia and frequently travel outside of the city. The handle is excellent, swept yards are not horrible, and the spikes seat securely. Heaven and earth have nothing on a weary Cordiant in those circumstances. In contrast, I don't understand the sense in listening to the helicopter rumbling of spikes on asphalt and putting up with substandard performance at temps around zero if you don't reside in the European portion of 2022 and experience frozen roads.

Pros
  • Good grip on icy and snow-packed conditions. Cross-country skiing skills on loose snow are excellent. I made it through the first season without breaking a single spike and it appears I will do the same for the second. Friends have reported that the spikes still work fine even after the seventh Nordman.
Cons
  • When it's cold outside, walking on asphalt is a miserable experience. (But then again, what else would you expect from Scandinavian-style rubber in the summer?) I was hoping much more from spring porridge. Although the tread appears to be near to the standard herringbone and the tire did not fail in powdery snow, I suspect that the tread does not clean itself efficiently enough in such situations, causing the tire to float extremely easily from the asphalt. In general, a puzzle. Extremely fragile sidewall; handling with care is required (yes, I learned this in preparation for the AP exam, but I didn't fully appreciate its significance until I twisted my own tire while holding a hole in the sidewall in my hands). The highest standard of acoustic ease.
