I hesitated to purchase this rubber because I felt ashamed after reading the reports concerning the side drift. In fact, after making the purchase, I carefully started to test it, purposefully going faster than the speed that seemed plausible based on sensations when turning. As a result, I personally have no concerns about demolition. When compared to the previous Formula Ice tires, it accelerates over snow slush much more quickly. It rows wonderfully in the snow. Compared to the Formula, the Nordman 8 is a little bit noisier, but it also works better in the snow, so to speak. However, it should be remembered that Formula Ice is a very quiet rubber in and of itself. The formula worked for me up until the very end, but for the fifth winter there were almost no spikes left and it wouldn't go uphill on pristine ice. Subjectively speaking, Nordman 8 is somewhat superior to the Formula, but it clearly wins on icy roads and oatmeal.
