Immediately after assuming the tires I thought it fall out of turn, because the tires so must slip. After 200 km are passed over. Unfortunately for 2 months driving on these tires from Nov. 1, returned 2 mm tread on the drive axle and 1mm tread on the idler - I drove at that time 4000 km. Tested once on the snow - work well, I can recommend. However, if we have the winter as it is now in Poland, it will be a better choice Continentale and Michelins - do not wear off as the asphalt like these.

I have already clocked 3 winter seasons on these tires now use them fourth. I must say that despite the chunky looks like a winner 30000km about 5mm, unfortunately driveability beyond the well odśnieżonymi roads rather meager for a premium tires. Moving uphill on snow-covered road - the car slides ASR go haywire and basically without the aid of a fellow the problem is with you emerge even in reverse. The easy way deep snow (ie the ankle) - the problem of driving away, ASR non-stop braking of the wheels, without ASR wheel non-stop tow even at low gas are brushed. Braking - fresh snow - no revelations ABS ever let go of the wheel. To sum up, under strictly minus average winter tire. Wet, dry highway - even speed of 200km / h are no problem, the tire grips the road well, predictable. Hydroplaning - big pools and the speed of about 100km / h - the car flees sensitive side to side, can not cope with the discharge of large amounts of water. Tread very resistant to abrasion after 4 seasons - 4-5mm, which means he's tough and hard fins cooperate with the ground, which shall be made in poor traction on snow. Riding round bends without any problems, sides and tread quite stiff, no effect of the flames. Generally speaking, the tire is good for the months of spring and autumn, winter rather only road cleared of snow. I hope I have helped in choosing winter tires for next season attached above opinion on Nokianów WR A3

I bought my Nokian WR A3 in the size 205/55R16 and I am pretty surprised of how not efficient they actually are. I had my Nokian W+ previously in my Volvo and they were amazing. As I was very pleased with those I bought WR A3 and I cannot say the same about the,. ABS turns on while moving-off. I don't get it. I don't know what is wrong with them tyres. Maybe the RWD causes that many problems. I drove about 500 miles right now and still no change with the performance. I thought that it has to take some time for them tyres to become more fitted to the rim, but I was wrong. 500 miles and still the same slippy/skiddy performance. I do not recommend those to a RWD. From my perspective I am pretty shocked and disappointed. I think that I will never more risk and go for a novelty.

I was told that is because they are "run flat". I've heard of other brands and are not as noisy

I bought the car tires of his wife. I wanted to buy a good brand, without a special look at the price. I assumed that the winter will be better tires Scandinavian middle class than the high-end tires in Europe. Sorry disappointment. On the big snow of course the tires are doing great. However, in terms of our "Polish" winter - they are at best mediocre. Quite loud and significantly increase rolling resistance. I thought my better half just tedious, but not - pojeździłem car a few months and I have similar feelings. Complete tragedy is wet performance at low (but positive) temperatures. Auto riding unsteadily loses traction, you must free more than other road users to drive safely turn. Opinion writing more than a year of purchase bad because I did not want to write about this brand (I liked it very much) without justification. The tire I can recommend only those moving car with a capacity below 160 hp, with a calm driving style that need the car into the snow. As a versatile tire changing weather conditions - do not check out.

Had conti's before and replace fronts with these. I find turn in is much improved, the grip felt inspires confidence in most conditions (dry and wet) - can't comment on snow/ice as haven't experienced any since buying them. Stability in wet is awesome and and very confident on no aquaplaning, and that the car will turn when I reach a corner in very wet conditions.
