I bought a set of Nokian WR D3 tyres and just after they were released, before there was criticism. I was very happy with them. My previous set of summer tyres wore out last year and been using them all year. They have very soft sidewalls, I do not know why some people say they are stiff. They are comfortable and relatively quiet. The wet grip is not particularly great, but I’ve had much worse on wet tyres like Michelin Energy on that car. They are much better than Goodyear Eagle F1 in the wet below 7C! The dry grip is reasonable. They work very well in summer without wearing badly. they are perfect in winter. they surprisingly low rolling resistance, a little lower than my old Michelin Energy! The tread in Nokian WR D3 is also very good. I’ve use them all year round in the UK today, they are OK in the summer, when the tires were much better traction anyway, and very good in the winter when things tend to be more slippery.

I bought a set of four Nokian VRD3 feel winter and I can say it is the best choice for this price! Before them, I had Good Year UG7 witch is better tire but the price too. Nokian is perfect on dry asphalt, wet, very good handling and breaking. Comfortable with low noise at all.

At that price it's probably one of the best choices, more beautiful appearance. It is difficult to say how the tire perform in eg 3-4 seasons. From experience, I can see that after 4 years of driving most tires lose a lot of quality despite short distances. I do not know if this is the case all winter tires, but the rubber is aging faster than summer tires. I judge the quality of Nokian very good.

I am rating Nokian WR D3 tyres in size 185/60/14 82T Russian production. In its opinion, I will only refer to other winter tires was help, and were Goodyear UltraGrip 6, Fulda Kristall Montero, Kleber and BFGoodrich Winter Krisalp HP GForce. I selected this tyre due to the evaluation of users, the price and the fact that in the tested was assessed as a versatile tyre, and for me the most anxious. Upon receipt of the email tyres has certainly disappointed their appearance. Definitely do not look to the premium class. 2 of 4 tires occurred bosses, just above the lettering and the surface of the contact rim. It is a big drawback. There were no problems with balance. The tyre of the quietest not part. It is certainly quieter than Goodyear, but stronger than Kleber and BFGoodrich I need 2 cars. Braking, steering, handling on both wet and dry conditions very well in order, and best of all the tires we had. In this regard, I cannot fault this tyre. Perhaps in the continental test it out better, but the objectivity of the tests being what it is. In addition, the road is not a test track and the differences of 0.5 or 1 m for the average user are virtually imperceptible. Very good also removes inequality. I can confidently recommend Nokian WR D3 tyre, even those who drive very aggressively. The tyre is predictable, well, you can feel when his grip ends. For the price, I am very happy. For me, competing with Goodyear and Continental performance tire for less money, but slightly worse executed. If someone depends on making the best quality / durability / price, this would be a good choice.

Actually .... Nokian WR D3 are very soft tyres with standard pressure (2.2 in my car, with 2.4 it was already good) behaviour on the wet ground could be a little better. Tyres behave quite well on dry ground, but let’s be honest and do not require the winter tire has qualities of a summer tire on dry ground. With regard to winter conditions, unfortunately, I have not yet seen the comportment Nokian WR D3 on snow therefore difficult to assess. By cons there already await some ice here and I found that if someone is looking for winter tires for really difficult conditions I can honestly recommend Nokian WR D3. If someone wants to buy a tyre for all types of road conditions, it may be disappointed but if you want something Nokian allowing you to ride safely in winter, you will surely be satisfied.

Hi, I have these Nokian WR D3 tyres since the beginning of this winter. I decided in August to buy them because I had previously Debica Frigo 2 and time lost its driveability, so I wanted to buy something better, if only attacked the winter began to test and discovered that a very large snow tyre behaves like Dębica fridge 2. Nokian WR D3 surprised me very positively with heavy rains, as it is very easy to hold the road and the emergency brake the car stops immediately when it comes to crushing ice tyres in my opinion. Today, when brother bought tyres form local fitting station learned that, unfortunately, my tires ARE MADE IN RUSSIA not in FINLAND.

I bought the tires due to the positive feedback from users. It's nice in the snow outside and ujeżdżonym well it performs. I'm driving for 96 years and this winter I ran twice on these tires in an uncontrolled skid. Slip held in the city at the turn (90 degrees) at time 0 C temperature after about 3. I will quietly, but tear at these temperatures for asphalt when it is covered (not raining !!!) is a tragedy . After the company was expecting a better performance. This is my first and last purchase of that brand of tires:-(

I do not recommend these tires due to poor strength, after falling into a hole torn tire, I drove on old tires and never had this problem I fall into a hole and the handle of the tire I do not see much difference between the tires and cheaper
