Nokian WR A3 was the first set of tyres which I bought to my car. With the car I have bought Hankook I-cept, which was not very good. I have heard that Nokian tyres are designed in Finland, so they know for sure how to deal in the winter conditions. In the winter conditions the Nokian tyres are behaving very good, there is no point to compare them with the Hankooks. Maybe they are a little too soft, but perfect for snow, specially for the long trip with a high speed. The only disadvantage was, that I had to balanced them twice (second time after 1500 miles). I have not noticed the tread ware after this season. For the users who like to work fast and aggressive type of driving, I would recommend Nokian with the higher speed index.

Poorly chosen tire in the car (factory set - I had no choice). Superb used in 50% of highways require tires with a speed rating higher than 210. The tire of this index tends to deform dramatic and "lose" the balance for such a heavy car. The experience of other users for comfort, handling, maneuverability is true. Tires are generally OK but for me 2-3 one thousand kilometers and vulcanization. Car falls into a tremor becomes niekierowalne like. The changes to the index GY about 240 km and the highest possible capacity.

When it is wet, it does not have the grip to accelerate even dynamically. As for the twist, it's not bad.

Immediately after taking the tires I thought fall on his lap because the tires must slip. After 200 kilometers passed. Unfortunately for two months training on these tires November 1 returned 2 mm tread on the drive axle and the tread of 1 mm on the tensioner - I was driving at the time 4000 km. Tested once on the snow - work well, I can recommend. However, if we have winter as it is now in Poland, it will be a better choice Continental and Michelin - do not wear out of the asphalt like these.

I've clocked 3 winter seasons on these tires now use their fourth. I must say that despite the thick like a winner 30000 km about 5 mm, unfortunately, driveability beyond the roads well odśnieżonymi meager for premium tires. Move up on the snow covered road - the car slides ASR go haywire and basically without the help of a colleague the problem is with you emerge even in reverse. Easy way to snow depth (the ankle) - the problem of hunting, ASR non-stop wheel brake without non-stop towing ASR wheel even at low gas are brushed. Braking - fresh snow - no ABS revelations never let go of the steering wheel. To summarize, under average winter tire less strictly. Wet, dry road - same speed of 200 km / h are no problem, tire grips the road well, predictable. Hydroplaning - large pools and a speed of about 100 km / h - the car flees sensitive side to the other, can not cope with large amounts of water discharge. Move very resistant to abrasion after 4 seasons - 4-5mm, which means that it is difficult and hard fins cooperate with the ground, which must be done by a bad grip on snow. Riding round bends without any problem, and walk steep sides, no effect of the flames. Overall, the tire is good for the months of spring and autumn, not winter road cleared of snow. I hope I helped in choosing winter tires for next season set above opinion on Nokianów WR A3

I bought Nokian WR A3 205/55 R16 91 H and the boy I'm in shock, because poorly managed. I had a Honda Nokia, I had a Volvo Nokia + and they were great. As a fan of the brand, I bought my 318d Nokia WR and slides! Those went to the asphalt, and these, unfortunately, quilting, ABS is activated, the start of a skid at the circulation too, I leave with a subordinate and runs perpendicular to the movement as well. Shock. I do not know what it is. Is it time more + diesel propulsion is so important? In these przednionapędowcach in small sizes Nokian was great. I drove over 1200 miles and still no change. I hoped that the concert in August From my perspective, I do not recommend it. I wonder if they do not sell and do not run on Dunlop, Goodyear, Michelin and Alpine ..

I bought the car tires of his wife. I wanted to buy a good brand without a special look at the price. I suppose the Scandinavian winter will be better than the middle-class tires premium tires in Europe. Sorry disappointment. Of course the big snow tires are great. However, in terms of our winter "Polish" - they are mediocre at best. Strong enough and significantly increase the rolling resistance. I thought my better half only tedious but not - Car pojeździłem few months and I have similar feelings. Complete tragedy is wet performance at low temperatures (but positive). Auto riding unsteadily loses traction, you must free more than other road users to drive safely rotate. Reviewed more than a year of buying bad because I did not want to write about this brand (I liked) without justification. The tire I can only recommend those moving car with a capacity of less than 160 hp, with a calm driving style who need the car in the snow. As a versatile tire changing weather conditions - not to check.

More than a dozen tires have had so far was the best Dunlop. Nokia is out of the car, unfortunately losing grip on wet ground, snow will be even worse, usually not recommended
