The rubber is decent for the money, IMHO (I bought NOT the Russian [censored] made under license, which is a soft parody, but the real Finnish one). On snow (soft falling - fluffy, packed, wet, slushy) - okay, ice - not (not studded), but predictable, dry asphalt, occasionally icy - within reason (after all, we should use our brains when driving in winter), rated 3 out of a 5-point scale (it's not Toyo, of course, but Toyo's price is 1.3 times higher. Chose the optimal price/quality, couldn't justify paying more for Toyo). Didn't notice any noise on the highway (I keep it at 3 and above, the engine drowns out all sounds, and it's not a big issue for me). I would have picked Falken, but they’re not available in our village (rode them for 3 seasons without a hitch), Dunlop (only Japanese, can’t recommend, haven’t used them, plus they’re more expensive). Overall, what can I say, I recommend it (for those who use their heads), optimal price/quality (only the brand, NOT the Russian parody, like everything produced by that crap). I also recommend Falken (personal experience, but you can't find Japanese ones now). For your information, I'm from the Far East, 30 years of driving experience, car with right-hand drive, front-wheel drive, sedan, Toyota, a beast though it seems "modest" (with 1 liter and 100 hp), the roads here are a mess. Bottom line: For the money (~ 4K/per tire), it’s a decent choice. Patency "Feeling unsteady" - solvable by increasing the pressure. use Nokian Nordman RS2 195/60 R15 92R more than year |
Just bought it, installed it right away, drove 50 km! In the city, I barely managed to stop on the dry asphalt at the traffic light! I'm definitely terrified! I'll see what happens next, since the snow hasn't fallen yet... just bought Nokian Nordman RS2 195/65 R15 95R |
Decided to write, maybe someone will find it useful, as I myself browsed comments on tires... I was choosing tires online with the criterion of price/quality. Settled on this model and do not regret it! The tires are very decent for the money! Moderately soft, not noisy on the highway, behaves well on dry asphalt, even at +15. It performed excellently on snow, slush, and wet roads, and handled ice and black ice very decently too. I hit some pretty big potholes on our "wonderful" roads, the tires held up without any issues. I've been using them for over two months, and they look like new. They are on a rear-wheel-drive BMW with 300 hp, size 225/55/17. For those who care: I have over 15 years of driving experience, with different cars, so I have comparisons, and this is not my first set of tires so you can trust the adequacy of the comment. I repeat once again - the tires are very good for their money! No sense in overpaying for other more expensive ones. Driving performance during operation in different winter conditions I did not find any shortcomings. Is that a small speed index of 160 km, but as for me, it’s enough for winter. use Nokian Nordman RS2 225/55 R17 101R few months |
Well, someone, and the Finns, with their long and harsh cold seasons, definitely know a lot about winter tyres. Tyres of the low-cost price segment Nokian Nordman RS2 come from snowy Finland.
Quiet and smooth running
The directional tread pattern of the tyre is made in the form of a characteristic "herringbone" with a continuous network of longitudinal and transverse grooves for better removal of snow and moisture. The model's patency on snow porridge is increased by frequently located lamellas, but you can’t name a noisy tyre at the same time — on dry asphalt it demonstrates a quiet and soft ride. To a large extent, this is facilitated by thin sidewalls, which is why when parking a car, care must be taken not to accidentally hook the curb — the Nokian Nordman RS2 does not tolerate side impacts well.
Coupling qualities
The tyre has good traction when moving in icy conditions and well counteracts hydroplaning. But on pure ice, you still shouldn’t expect superpowers from her — the lack of spikes affects. However, one should not count on a different result from friction rubber in principle. In the off-season, the rubber also shows itself well, without being too soft.
Optimal ratio
In terms of wear resistance, the model does not differ from other state employees, i.e. it will need to be changed after 2-4 seasons of active winter trips (depending on the driving style, the condition of the chassis of the car and the total mileage covered). In its category, the tyre occupies the position of one of the most optimal offers in terms of price / quality ratio. And taking into account the tyre coverage of all running wheel sizes (from R13 to R18), it can be recommended to owners of the vast majority of cars who want to save on the purchase of winter tyres.
Good to know. Hydroplaning is the effect of a complete or partial loss of wheel traction due to the appearance of water in the tyre contact patch with the road. The main danger lies in creating the possibility of losing control of the car. The occurrence of the effect is influenced by many factors, ranging from the speed of movement and ending with the tyre tread pattern, as well as its residual depth.
