Nokian Tyres WR D3

I bought Nokian WR D3 after long deliberation. I have replaced my old GY UG7, used for two years. I have family in central Poland, and often travel the route Szczecin - wiochy near Warsaw, and this year there was no shortage of snow there ;) tires much better than the above mentioned, in the snow fighting bravely and allow you to feel really safe. For wet (rain) conditions provoked lose grip of course, but they do it in a very gentle and predictable manner. There is no question of a sudden (surprising) reaction. Shelf life after such a short period is difficult to assess. I think the noise is normal. I would definitely recommend this gum to anyone who wants to feel safe. Price as most appropriate to the offered parameters. If someone wants to save for your family's safety class is recommended budget :) For next season I changed the tire in the car wife and I already know what I want to buy winter tires. Yours.

I bought Nokian WR D3 after long consideration, analysis of the test results, especially German associations. The tires are very comfortable, nevertheless at the beginning I had a little problem with it. When the pressure is correct, clearly improved traction, while the soft comfort tyres remained. The positive effect of this softness is mild dialing holes in the road, which are the most troublesome in early spring. This tyres are also very quiet, even when driving fast. On snow and slush revelation - as predicted, but this season it was a little. Comparing them to the Continental I've got the impression that Nokian WR D3 better behaved in the wet. It seems to me that in the premium brand in general, the differences between the tyres are negligible. In any case, I fully recommend Nokian WR D3 to all drivers in every winter conditiones.

Nokian WR D3 is really soft tyre and with normal pressure (mine is 2.2), car was very fluent. Everything comes back to the normal, when I have changed pressure on 2.4. On wet surfaces Nokian WR D3 could perform much better, on the dry surfaces everything looks completely fine – but I am not so naïve to believe, that winter tyre on the dry surface will be as good as summer one. If we are talking about winter conditions – snow and ice, I can fully recommend this tyres. During this winter wasn't too much snow, but these tyres perform fantastic on ice and icy hills. When the other cars slipped, I drove up the hill without any problem. If you are looking for winter tyre, which cope in every conditions tyres can disappoint a little, but it fantastic tyre in conditions, where all other tyres back down. Read more Collapse

I have just bought a brand new car. After a while I need to change tyres for winter and I chose Nokian WR D3. I noticed much better acceleration and lower rolling resistance. I am comparing to my summer Hankook tyres. Noise level was also much lower and I think gas wear was smaller as well. On this tyres I have driven up to 900 miles and I am very found of them. Winter wasn't very hard this year, but during the thaw, Nokian WR D3 performed very well on slush. I couldn't notice any sign of aquaplaning. I am living in a countryside, so I am driving to the city every day, I did not have any dangerous situation, even the surface was icy, wet or dry. Wear of the tread is very very low, so I will drive on my Nokians at the winter as well. I fully recommend Nokian WR D3. Read more Collapse

I bought Nokian WR D3 tires as suggested by the Oponeo's staff (I wanted to buy another brand, but the employee was able to convince me to buy Nokians) and NO regrets there. Although the winter was so-so, but a couple of days with ice / frozen snow on the road gave me a picture - surprisingly good exeperience. I am accustomed to the fact that a certain parts of some roads to is covered by ice and the cars slide there. This time my car slipped just a little in a fairly "controlled" manner. Another time, under similar conditions, I was surprised that the ABS did not trigger (which happend often on previous tyres). Of course we are talking about the new tires properly inflated after the first few hundred kilometers. Read more Collapse

I bought Nokian WR D3 is a really great tire. I drove on different winter tyres, including Goodyear UltraGrip 7, GForce Winter BFGoodrich, Kleber Krisalp HP, Fulda Kristall Montero and Nokian WR D3 is really the best of them. The good price you get for a product which performance can safely match the Dunlops and Continentals. Excellent on snow. On the wet ABS was not turned on even once. I've even tried those on the track once and they didn't let me down. You can safely use I bought Nokian WR D3 in the summer in dry conditions. There were no time when the car lost it's traction. As for the noise that is also good. Not quietest possible, but the don't make you angry during long trips. I would highly recommend! Read more Collapse

I would definitely recommend Nokian WR D3 tires! Definitely a very good quality-price ratio. Nokians very sticks to the surface very well. Grants good drainage in the wet. I did not expect that the car will be handling this well on both wet and dry conditions. (winter this year rather mild so I can assess that driving on dry pavement can not be faulted). You do not see signs of wear. I did not notice that my car burn more fuel than previously (with Michelins on it). I thin that the price of the Michelin tyres may be a barrier for some people so Nokians are a great deal! If today I were to buy new winter tires are definitely would choose Nokian WR D3 because of their very good quality at affordable price. Read more Collapse

I bought Nokian WR D3 are the really high-end tires at an affordable price. Super grip on any type of surface, in the snow and slush they behave almost perfectly. Previously I was using Michelin tires but they were not as great as Nokians. Personally, I would recommend anyone to purchase tires I bought Nokian WR D3 because they are great for winter conditions. Besides, these are Finnish brand tires and you can tell that the Finns know best when it comes to winter tyres (i heard they firs invented them). I would encourage anyone who can't make up their mind on which tyre to choose. At the end I will add that the fuel consumption of these tires is much lower than with the previously used Michelin tyres. Read more Collapse

I wrote already about the Nokian WR D3, what I wrote was: on dry road - average. On wet road - poor. Now I have new expereiences. They act very good on snow. I was in Poland and the winter was realy scary. I did not have any problems with drivig out from a deep, wet snow in the temperature of +2 degrees. It was imposible to ski on such snow but my Nokian WR D3 were driving on it like a boss. When I was comming back to England I had a accident. I was driving behind a truck when suddenly a piece of tarmac hited my tyre. I got a sudden flat - the hole was 4 x 4 cm but the tyre behaved perfect - no wobbling, rumbling. I just pulled-over and the tyre was very stable. Nokian WR D3 - brilliant tyres Read more Collapse

This year the snow was not too much of a concern but still when the opportunity arose unexpectedly i sat down to test Nokian WR D3 tyres :) My car (bmw e46) gives you confidence while driving and the tire behaves very well on the slippery snow and down the hill on the snow. You cannot feel any understeering with these, Everything is smooth safe and secure. Noise level isn't problematic, just average. They act very well even at the higher speeds. I do think it's the best winter tire on which I was able to go so far ... why spend extra money on top FPS Michelin or Continental products, since Nokian WR D3 offers the same thing for less money? Read more Collapse

I have a small car for urban purposes, recently bought. I wanted to choose the tires that provide comfort and safety - I think that Nokian WR D3 was the right choice. Tires have a very good traction and grip. Winter season is very capricious - a few days of biting cold, snow, rain - the weather is not predictable to the drivers and these tires did not fail me through the winter in any weather conditions. Performed well with slush as well. Now in the garage waiting for the new season - in very good condition. I bought it after a friend suggested me to buy them and must say i definately am please with them :) Read more Collapse

Nokian WR D3 performed perfect during all winter, whether it was rainy, snowy weather. Also they have great grip on the slush. I don't want to review them on icy surfaces, because on such surface is always a little bit dangerousThese tyres lead very very stable, and what the most important do not heat the asphalt. I feel very safe during the drive, so I can recommend them also to females. The rubber compaund is quite soft but within reason. It suppresses nicely, and carries water from puddles, but to a certain limit. With the strong belief I fully recommend them to all drivers. Read more Collapse

Nokian WR D3 during the winter performs really well. This winter I drove on them for a hundreds of miles and I have no complain. On the dry surfaces, in higher temperatures performs a little bit worse. In my opinion these tyres have too soft side walls, and the tyre is too “fluent”. I didn't notice high rolling resistance, so the tread wear will be less. I really recommend these tyres for a winter. Especially for hard, snowy winters. Price corresponding to the value. I recommend to buy them by Oponeo, because, they have much lower prices than in fitting services. Read more Collapse

Nokian WR D3 are one of the best tyres I have ever had. They are performing flawlessly. The biggest advantage of these tyres is that, they have low rolling resistance and short braking distances. I have VW Sharan 1.9 TDI, I drove 115 miles on them and I did not have any unpredictable situation with these tyres. I can fully recommend these tyres to drivers who value safety and economics (low rolling resistance and short braking distances are unquestionably those tyres). Size that uses is: 195/65R15. In the future I wll definetly use them as winter tyres. Read more Collapse

I bought Nokian WR D3 because it was recommended to me by a friend who uses them himself. I know that he is quite aggressive driver and he was surprised how comfortable this tyres can be. Nokians in low temperatures are very soft and quiet. They behaves well in the snow, slush and mud. An additional advantage is a very nice look of them, because in some cases tread looks not so good. I know that safety is the most importnat, but the appearance is also important. I would recommend the cars they drive women. The problem with the abs will disappear. Read more Collapse

We have ordered Nokian WR D3 several times to the different cars in our company - also to 4x4 drive. In each case we receive very positive feedback among drives, which overcomes winter tires up to 20000 km during one season. Earlier I used mainly with Goodyear, butthese tyres are so much better! This tyres are fantastic on snow and ice. Great performance on the wet surfaces and at highway speeds (up to 180 km / h). Rolling resistance, in my opinion, is very similar to other winter tyres. I fully recommend them, I have never had better tyres! Read more Collapse

Nokian WR D3 have very good traction on dry roads. Also on the wet surfaces there is no reason to complain. The ride is smooth and safe, even at higher speeds. These tyres are pretty quie, so the comfort is very high. Rolling resistance might be a tad smaller, but it is very good. There was a little problem with driving on slush, but only at the beggining, later everything was very good. Aquaplaning does not occur. You can safely recommend these tires, even left the large drifts are possible (of course, much depends on the driver's skills). Read more Collapse

I used Nokian WR D3 mostly in the city and on the roads with removed snow, so I do not have any experience on snow or slush. These tyres have great performance on icy surfaces and in freezing temperatures. Fantastic grip, no slippage. Unfortunately, during the higher temperatured - above zero (5-8 degrees) tyres had oddly stiff and slipping. In general I am very found of these tyres. I fully recommend them to all drivers, especially to one, who carries on safety. Theese are very reliable tyres, so I will buy them in the future. Read more Collapse

Ordered these winter tyres a couple of days before Xmas, delivered a couple of days afterwards. Amazing good service. Great price. I have been using them in Scandinavia during really heavy snowfall. Traditionally studded tyres are used in winter so was interesting to try winter tyres without studs. Very impressive on snow. Struggled on ice. For UK conditions these are a great winter tyre. Can tackle snow no problem. Never have to drive on solid ice in the UK, should be fine with icy conditions with sensible driving. Read more Collapse

This is my second set of Nokians. Earlier I had Nokian WR, and now I decided to buy Nokian WR D3. I am very found of them! I have Audi A8 4x4, and my car performed very well on snow, ice and slush. Braking is really fantastic, especially on ice. You can not overdo with the speed. Tread wear isn't so big, so tyres should last for two, maybe even three seasons. I wan to recommend these tyres to all users, who cares about safe. There is no other tyres which will be safier during the winter, on snow and ice. Read more Collapse

I bought two sets of Nokian WR D3. Unfortunately, one set - landed on the parties or of poor quality or poorly stored tires. Tires are jumping on the balancer. It feels vibration at 50, 100 and 110 km / h. Balancing is ok. The second set was perfect. The only drawback is the wet braking at high speeds but i dunno if winter tyres should be used for such speeding as i did. Nokian WR D3 are really good tires. I must admit i had the nokians fitted several years now so they are definately durable. Read more Collapse

I wasn't sure, when I bought Nokian WR D3 last year. After hard winter with a lot snow and cold and wet spring I have to admit, that I've never have better winter tyres. Great performance on snow, wet surfaces and ice. I was impressed with the low rolling resistance and low tread wear. On dry surfaces performance was little bit worse, but this tyres are designed for a long and hard winter. They are manufactured in Finland and they know something about winter! I fully recommend these tyres for winter. Read more Collapse

For the first time I bought Nokian WR D3, because my friend recommend them to me. I was not convinced to Nokian as the tyre manufacturer, but that changed after a few times they had saved my life. These tyres may be not the cheapest winter tyres, but they are worth the money, and the higher the model you purchase, the biggest guarantee of safety and durability you'll get from the manufacturer. Since that time, I am buying Nokian tyres for summer and winter and I really recommend them to all drivers. Read more Collapse

Bought these based on extensively searching reviews although have owned Nokian years ago on my Mondeo GhiaX. These are simply superb tyres in all conditions but in slush they are like driving on a sunny day, so much grip! Dry grip is up with any and I find these better than my previous blu responses, which were good. Wear is brilliant and have lost very little tread depth. I have went through lots and lots of tyres in my life but always buy good ones, these are truly excellent value for money. Read more Collapse

For the second time I bought Nokian WR D3 and I am very found of them. Nokian tyres do not disappointed me either on dry or wet surfaces. Earlier I was buying Michelins (soft rubber), but they was much more expensive, so why overpay as you can for a reasonable price have a real winter tyres. Nokian WR D3 performs well on snow and water, mud, slush as a matter of how fast we drive, and whether we have the ABS. For me these tyres are a reasonable choice at affordable price! I fully recommend them. Read more Collapse

At the begining I want to say, taht Nokian WR D3 a sense of security on the road. In December, I was driving highway [slightly icy surface].I had to brake suddenly for some reason. Car in front of me skidded and hit the railing, while my car on these tyres slowed down without a problem. Later it turned out that the car in front of me did not have fitted winter tyres. Nokian tyres saved me from dangerous collision.I would definitely recommend for longer distances, as well as on urban conditions. Read more Collapse

I bought Nokian WR D3 in last November. Even I was surprised with their low beat. Driveability of these tyres is fantastic, my evaluation is A+. Great grip. Nokians absorb every bump. On a wet surface tyres holds very good, braking is amazing. I was most surprised by driving in the snow, it is sensational. Moving uphill awesome! Braking on snow revelation. ASR and ABS on these tires do not have a lot of work. I would recommend these tyres to all drivers, because I am more than happy. Read more Collapse

Bought on recommendation of a friend. The tires have been brilliant for the cold/ wet weather and occasional snow. I noticed immediate difference in breaking in the cold - it improved. And while only had a chance to use them once properly in the snow, the tires performed brilliantly. They are not the cheapest, but seem to be well made, do not wear hard and work well. the only downside as with any winter tyre is that they are a bit loud but not by much compared to my summer tires. Read more Collapse

Nokians WR D3 are doing very well in winter. I drove this winter about 3k and I have no restrictions to their winter properties. These tyres word much more worse on dry road with higher speeds - imo the sidewalls are too soft and when you are cornering with high speeds the car tends to swim. The soft sidewalls are a cause of the igher rolling resistance as well. Nokians WR D3 have no problems with driving in deep snow and ice. I am very pleased with their winter properties. Read more Collapse

For this winter I purchased Nokian WR D3 tyres. I am very pleased with my choice. Maybe winter in this year was not very hard, but I traveled for ski couple of times, so I could check Nokian tyres on fresh snow and icey roads. Tyres behave great on all kind of surfacecs, any problems, driveability was fantastic. When it comes to keeping in the corners - I vas really impressed. Also on slush they behaved very well.These tyres are the right choice and I am very pleased. Read more Collapse

I bought Nokian WR D3 in February. Mostly I drive in long routs, sometimes in the city. These tyres have perfect grip and handle well on any kind of surface.Tyres are good support suspension and shock absorption take part inequality. They are very reliable and safety tyres.

Nokian WR D3 is another winter tyre manufactured by Nokian, which have fantastic results. Performing really well in all weather conditions during the whole winter – on powdery snow, ice and slush. There is any reason for complaining. Advantages: price corresponding to quality, great grip, perfect drive-ability, very quiet. Disadvantages: any. I fully recommend Nokian tyres to all drivers. Read more Collapse

I've never had to replace a set of tyres after such a short distance. Approx. 6500 miles. I've had winter tyres last for more than twice the mileage, despite running them all year round! I certainly could not recommend the WR D3s to anybody. If I had had time and the inclination, I would have complained to the company or Openeo, from whom I purchased the tyres. Very disappointed. Read more Collapse

I bought Nokian WR D3 For normal use in the winter is very positive. I get the impression that they could not be perfectly balanced - slight vibrations occur in the vicinity of 110 - 120 km / h. Tragedy is not but it is not pleasant. On packed snow certain, even with a significant slope surface can not move. They give a sense of comfort - quiet and well suppress inequality. Read more Collapse

Nokian WR D3 rumble very nice (like a small jet engine) when driving on a good quality tarmac. Highway- hard to notice any sound. Very soft, comfortable and confident when cornering. From now on I will use Nokian WR D3 in all my cars in winter. I used Goodyear Ultra Grip and Nokian is not worse anyhow but it s cheaper. I can recommend Nokian WR D3 without hassle. Read more Collapse

They are really good quality tyres. I bought these tyres for my wife's car, she works on high land situated area, so when it's winter, snow are really frequent. These tyres give the car a perfect grip on snow. I really appreciate the quality of it. Bit noise but who cares, safety it's more important. I would definitely recommend these tyres. Worth all the money. Read more Collapse

I bought Nokian WR D3 for a very good money. They are very good summer tyres. I have to addmit that I had the opportunity to drive with a bit more quiet tyres but there is no point to complain. I used yokohama C Drive and Contisport. Continentals rubbed off very quickly and Yokohama blew away. I can recommend the Nokian WR D3 - very good winter tyres. Read more Collapse

Bought these for their high wet grip rating (in real terms more important than snow for most of the time). Have had great experience with this brand in real winter conditions in the past. Not disappointed. In fact they work OK in the dry too, if a little understeery, but that is partly due to smaller wheel/higher section chosen for the winter. Read more Collapse

Nokian WR D3 have very good appearance and give also good drive-ability, car sticks to the road, especially on the slush. I was amazing with braking on the icy surfaces. Price corresponding to quality. I am not sure, how long tread will resist, but at this moment I fully recommend Nokian WR D3 to drivers, who cares about safe driving. Read more Collapse

I bought Nokian WR D3 at the Autumn 2012. On dry and wet surfaces Nokian WR D3 have perfect grip. During the braking, even the violent one, wasn't any ABS reaction. I felt really safe.

Nokian WR D3 is really worth to recommend despite to less positive reviews. Really good grip on the snow and ice. Perfect barking, even on ice. I was really surprised how safe I felt on the roads.

When I first saw the videos on the Nokian website I was a little sceptical at first but on purchasing the tyres I soon realised they were outstandingly good. Whatever weather was thrown at them the grip was amazing. Driving in snow and ice was like driving on a road on a Summers day. Would definately buy these again. Read more Collapse

This is my second set of Nokian tyres. I was so impressed with the first set that I replaced them when they wore out. These tyres are quiet and give a good feel when on either wet or dry. Fuel economy was better than my summer tyre. Won't use anything other than Nokian for winter tyres now. Very satisfied. Read more Collapse

Nokian WR D3 are really good winter tyres. On the snow and snowdrifts sticks to the road perfectly. There is no reason to dig at any occasion. They caused some troubles on the wet surface, but which winter tyres are perfect? High driving comfort. Nokian WR D3 are definitely worth to recommend. Read more Collapse

Used on Subaru Outback in Sheffield hills and Derbyshire in thick winter snow. Fantastic grip in snow and great in the dry. Used nokian tyres years ago on Impreza and they were great then. Only negative was they took a lot of weights to balance but no vibration when driving even at speed. Read more Collapse

These tyres work very well on a big, heavy mk1 V70. A little noisier than the summer tyres due to the tread block pattern needed to grip and shed in winter conditions. Didn't wear anything like as quickly as expected, in fact the wear rate seems better than the summer tyres I use. Excellent Read more Collapse
