Nokian Tyres WR A3 - User reviews

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 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.

Car: Jaguar XK8, 300 hp, rear-drive, tires 245x45x18 After driving the whole winter season 2013/14 (approx. 20,000 miles) tires on the rear axle completely lost their grip on wet surfaces. Due to the high engine power can break traction when overtaking in the wet (speed 110 - 120 km / h). When starting practically all the time drift. Interestingly tread is not very much used - depth at the level of 5 - 6 mm. I think donuts give advice on cars of the middle class - for me it remains a fairly large unsatisfied.

I got them with a new car and wish I'd paid the the Pirelli tires that defeat the hill starts to snow Massacre (wife citroen c3 on pirelli just darted up the hill) previous 10 years of cormorants himself fared better on these then you can forget about leaving the drifts when driving on dry asphalt with a slight cold alleges passes back to the road speed of about 80 km / h overrated crap, that's probably not change over to summer to use as soon as possible and buy something that will not fail me no more nokianów

I do not understand how anyone can put on the market a tire like that, it's a real disaster in all conditions, although a thermal rubber on snow and ice literally sucks, no traction and no seal, the wet is dangerous, always has a tendency to aquaplaning and understeer when cornering on dry roads does not always sway the car and gives security neither straight nor even on cornering, never a product nokian

Very good tyre, I will definitely get it again. In Honda with limited-slip differential they are really doing a great job. Recommend it! Greetings to all Honda owners.

I am disappointed - maybe in the first year was ok, but now the second season is a tragedy tire completely lost its parameters although still ok.5mm tread on snow with even the lightest ABS braking is activated. No, definitely not, not worth the astronomical prices. Tires for one season, then rubber loses its parameters - the tragedy.
