Opinion from outside the UK
I got Nokian WR D3 by the size 185/60/14 82T Russian production. In its opinion, I will only refer to other winter tires which i was using, and were using Goodyear UltraGrip 6, Fulda Kristall Montero, Kleber Krisalp HP and BFGoodrich Winter GForce. I chose this tire because judging from reviews of the users, the price and the fact that in tests has been assessed as a versatile tire, made it look very good. Upon delivery their appearence is disappointing. Definitely do not look like the premium class. There were no problems with balancing. The Nokian WR D3 is rather quiet. more quiet than Goodyear, but louder than Kleber and BFGoodrich that I have on 2 other cars. Braking, steering, road grip on both wet and dry conditions is very much in order, and the best of all the tires we had. In this respect. Perhaps in the Continental test it comes out better, but the tests aren't always objective. In addition, the road is not a test track and the differences of 0.5 or 1 m for the average user are virtually unnoticeable. Pretty good with suppressing road inequalities. I can safely recommend this tire, even to those who ride quite aggressively. The tire behaves predictably, and well, you can sense when its grip ends. For the price I am most pleased. In my opinion, rivaling performance tire Goodyear and Continental tyres for less money, but slightly worse looks. If someone depends on making the best ratio quality / durability / price it would be a good choice. Read more Collapse

I'm giving an opinion on Nokian WR D3 after testing them in typical winter conditions. My rating relates to the size 185/60/14. Tires have been produced in Russia. On the snow they are cool. Both start-off and braking without any issues. ABS triggers very rarely. Traction on the slush and the snow also very good. After the intentional introduction of the car into a skid feel that the tyre slips for just a moment and then firmly grips. Very predictable when it comes to the grip - easy to handle. Braking on wet roads typically falls slightly worse. On a dry road or unparalleled. Very good with suppressing road inequalities. Avarage noise level. Kind of premium class and on the tire looks. I drove once on the German budget brand tires called Platin and they looked better. But these are traits that do not directly affect the security so you can live with them. When it comes to driving parameters I think that is a very good tire for a good price. So far I have used the Fulda Kristall Montero winter tires, Goodyear Ultragrip 7, Kleber Krisalp HP and BF Goodrich Winter GFrorce. Nokian tire is definitely the best of the ones I mentioned. When installing Nokian WR D3 wthere were no problems with balancing. Weights have max. 10g, so i do not confirm, alleged Russia Nokian tyres to be having had problems with balancing. I would definitely recommend! Read more Collapse

I bought a set of these just after they were released, before there were any reviews. I've been very happy with them. My previous set of summer tyres wore out last year so I have been using them all year. They have very soft sidewalls, I am not sure why some people say they are stiff. They are comfortable and reasonably quiet. The wet grip is not particularly great, but I have had far worse tyres in the wet: Michelin Energy on this car. They are far better than Goodyear eagle F1s in the wet below about 7C! The dry grip is reasonable. They work fine in the summer without wearing badly. they are great in the winter. they have surprisingly low rolling resistance, a bit lower than my old Michelin Energies! The treadwear is also very good. I will be using them all year in the UK now, they are OK in the summer, when tyres have much better grip anyway, and very good in the winter when things tend to be more slippery. Read more Collapse

Nokians are really worth every penny. One of the quietest tyres I have ever used. It is hard to loose traction on these tyres, even when you are driving up to the hills. Winter 2013/2014 was very mild and quite warm, and after driving 3000 miles on tread still shows a depth 8 mm. Driving comfort is fantastic. However on dry surfaces, in the warm weather at highway speeds the car gently floats and there is no 100% precision of driving. Basically tyres are one the most comfortable and quiet tyres I have ever had. Very important for me is safety and very reliable, especially during the wet winter, on the slushy roads. I fully recommend the Nokian WR D3 tyres. I will definitely buy them in the future. Read more Collapse

I have Nokian WR D3 put in my Punto Evo. It is hard to judge the snow drive abilities coz we do not have snow in Cork yet. On dry and wet tarmac they are behavior is similar. Sometimes I have to brake suddenly because of the "road morons" and my ABS does not turn on. The braking is realy good. In the corners my feelings are the same as my coleagues wrote above. I am not driving 130 Mph in corners but even with the speeds of 60mph you can notice the "swimming to the sides" ( I dont know how to describe it) but the tyres dont lose the grip. Nokian WR D3 have a good shock-absorbing properties and they are very quiet. Design is awesome. Nokian WR D3 - worth my recomendation. Read more Collapse

I have bought Nokian WR D3 at the beginning of winter. I have decided on them in August, because I had previously Debica Frigo 2 and over time they lost its driveability. I wanted to buy something better, more reliable. From my experience, I can assure, taht these tyres have great grip on snow and slush. I was positively surprised on wet surfaceces because Nokians has great grip. During the emergency brakinges tyres stick to the road and it brakes immediately. I am very impressed with these tyres as the winter tyres and they are one of the best winter tyres I have ever had. I fully recommend them for all drivers. Read more Collapse

I bought Nokian WR D3 in August 2011, because in the Internet there wasn't any critical reviews of the product. I waited a long time to be able to write a good review. These tyres are relatively hard as the winter tyre, but it is not a disadvantage for obvious reasons. On snow and ice remains on average, but when it comes to dry and wet conditions, in my opinion, behaves not so good. Nokians are definietely worth their price. Once happened, that on the icey surface, tyres floated back to me a little, but it happened only once, so it is not a problem. I fully recommend these tyres to all users. Read more Collapse

Nokian WR D3 is a very soft tyre. The presure that I had in my Nokians was 2.2 bars and my car was swimming a bit but I solved it by puting the air presure inside y tyre to 2.4 bar. The behavior on wet road surface could be better because right now I'm not fully satisfied. On the dry tarmac they are sufficient but a winter tire would never be as good as summer tyre (on dry road surface). I never had the oportunity to drive on the snow with them so it is hard for me to judge. I drove a bit on ice but I wasn't so excited. To conclude: Nokian WR D3 is a good winter tyre but no revelation. Read more Collapse

I have Nokian WR D3 on my wheels for 2 weeks right now and my wife has them for 1 month and I dont recommend them. I spent almost 600 pounds for 2 sets and it was my last expense on Nokians in my life. Car is swimming a bit in higher speeds while cornering. I am a driver for 15 years now and I never had such poor tyres - Debice Frigo were much better. Maybe Nokian WR D3 are good in snow. but I am very afraid what will happen when the rain will fall. With braking- poor as well. ABS is turning on every time. Poor tyres. Dont recommend. Read more Collapse

For this price Nokian WR D3 is one of the best choices and in addition they look nice. I used them for 4 seasons. From my experience I can say that after 4 seasons this tyre lost a lot from its quality. I dont know if every winter tyre has this phenomenon, but the rubber is gettinguseles faster than in summer tyres. Nokian WR D3 are very good. The quality is very high despite the fact that they are produced in Russia. Nokian WR D3 is a very good tyre and the technologies applied are high-class. Read more Collapse

I bought Nokian WR D3 in august 2011. I bought them as "fresh thing on the market" and there were no reviews in the internet about them. I waited for a quite long time before I decided to review.Tyre is quite stiff for a winter tyre. It is hard to recognize if it is a advantage or disadvantage. Nokian WR D3 after 6000k looks like almost unused. My maximum speeds are 80-90MPH. Maybe I did not make a huge mileage to judge these tyres under any curcumstances. Read more Collapse

I bought Nokian WR D3 because the price was ok and they had very good tests and reviews. Tyre in the size of 215/60R16. I compare to GoodYear UG7+ (my last winter tyre). I am very pleased with properties of Nokian WR D3. Very good braking. silent, and awesome grip properties. I cannot judge the durability but I dont drive too much during winter so I dont think they will get damaged qucikly. I think that I will use Nokian WR D3 for 5-6 seasons minimum. Read more Collapse

These are my next Nokians that I have in my car but first Nokian WR D3 and I am delighted. My car is Honda Accord 2.4 i-VTEC so I have enough power. These tyres are splendid when driving in deep snow and when driving on tarmac they are rly silent. I recommend Nokian WR D3 for people who drive usualy in winter on roads covered in snow. I had no problems with driving out from deep snow piles. Nokian WR D3 are just made for winter! Read more Collapse

I had Nokian WR D3 (205/55R16) put on y E46 320d Touring. They have very soft sidewalls at least I got that feeling. I drive very fast and agressive usualy. In cornering my car tilts to its sides. I had the opportunity to drive on german highways with speed of 160-170MPH and I was totaly scared. I did not have such situation never ever. Moving-off and braking- ok. I did not drive on snow. Nokian WR D3 are not worth their price. Read more Collapse

Nokian WR D3 work very well on dry road surface- they behave like summer tyres. I did not notice any problems with the grip and tracktion on wet road surface as well. They grip nicely even in the mud and snow. They start to rumble with the speeds of 80-90MPH but not a big issue at all. Nokian WR D3 are quite stiff. Very good tyres for a reasonable price. I Recommend Nokian WR D3! Read more Collapse

I gave 4 because I did not have the opportunity to test these tyres in hard winter conditions. I bought them because I have been using them for years and I cannot say anything bad about these tyres. Nokian WR D3 is a Finish tyre so I assume that people in Finland know how to make a good winter tyres. I hope that Nokian WR D3 will behae superb. Read more Collapse

I bought my first Nokian WR D3 in Autumn and there were no reviews. I put them onto my Toyota Avensis T25 kombi. Very comfortable and quiet tyre. I do not feel any swings or grip loses while cornering. Sometimes I even reach the maximum speed of 135MPH. Nokian WR D3 is a realy good tyre. It works perfectly in winter conditions.

I thought that Nokian WR D3 will not disappoint me but I was wrong. very low traction in winter conditions... realy poor when comparing to my Dunlop sport. They were 6 years old and they never disapointed me. Nokian WR D3 are much worse than Dunlopss. I dont recommend. these were my last Nokians. Read more Collapse

I did not use Nokian WR D3 but I want the potential buyers to pay attention to the fact that Nokian WR D3 is a very stiff tyre (almost like a summer tyre). In comparison to my wifes tyres (Fulda Montenero 3) Nokian WR D3 feels like made of concrete. It may be caused by the 99/ XL indexes. Read more Collapse

I bought set of four Nokian VRd3 winter print and can say this is the best choice for this price! Before them I had Good Year UG7 witch is better tyre but the price too. The Nokian is perfect on wet and dry asphalt, very good grip and breaking. Comfortable with a low noise level at all. Read more Collapse

I used Nokians for years. Now after purchasing and using Nokian WR D3 I will never buy Nokians again. In my opinion the driving properties of Nokians lowered very much. Now I will use Vredestein. We will see after the winter which mark I will give to Nokian WR D3. Read more Collapse

I drove about 1000 km on the recently purchased Nokianach. Lack of snow, so the assessment relates only surface dry and wet after a rain. For dry: keeps well, inhibition of stable, high-speed, but (as with winter tyres), the road a little longer. No noise, even silence on board. A very big plus, low noise. Cornering at higher speeds does not swim. On a wet, quietly holding the road. Waiting for snow, tread, quality rubber gives hope for good results. (5 per credit assessment). Correct after the first snow :) The ratio of price to quality is phenomenal. Recommend Read more Collapse

I bought the tires due to the positive assessment of the users. It looks nice on the outside and ujeżdżonym snow quite well it performs. I'm driving for 96 years and this winter I ran twice on these tires in an uncontrolled skid. Slip occurred in the city at the turn (90 degrees) at time 0 C temperature once at about 3. I go quietly, but pull away at these temperatures for asphalt pavement when it is overcast (not raining !!!) is a tragedy. After that the company expected a better performance. This is my first and last purchase this brand of tires:-( Read more Collapse

In November 2014, the 215/60 R16 tires fitted a 99 H XL for Ford S-Max 1.6 petrol 160 hp. Disastrous ride comfort, tires very hard, move all the bumps. Very strange behavior on the road. At a temperature of 2 - 3 degrees of winter tires should be soft, and these are very hard. I installed the new car tires after reading reviews of other users. In the previous car I installed Kleber tires middle class. Tires sensational. NOKIAN tires, premium class, disastrous purchase. Read more Collapse

Compared with the Dunlop Winter Sport 4D which I used in the previous season are great tires. First of all, quieter, more comfortable hold in August on the road and better cornering and choose any inequality. Dunlopy tended to experience the climb on the field at higher speeds, were harder and much louder. Nokia in my subjective feeling really successful winter tires in all road conditions. In this beautifully furnished to balance. I recommend to all. Read more Collapse

I go on these tyres only the first season, I live in the mountains, I go to work (Belgium), so returning to the opinion, in the mountains in the snow, slush-rewelka no problems with you emerge from the drifts, uphill, on the ice a little leg with gas and the car goes the same route (dry surface) quiet tires, the wet braking distance without a problem. I'm happy and I know that on these tires, I rode in the winter season. Read more Collapse

I drove two winter seasons on these tires did about 20 000 km during this period, from 50% and 50% in the city and in good conscience I can recommend these tires behave really well, the car performed reliably and stably, and in addition wear after traveling that distance is about 2 mm. I would recommend. Read more Collapse

On a wet does not feel the difference between summer. I have the impression that they are even quieter than the summer, especially on highways. Snow driven stocks once hard to tell.
