Tyre reviews Nokian WR G2. Page 3 2341

Significant improvement compared to all-season tires and summer tires. The current car feels safe in winter conditions. Nevertheless, they look like new. We have definitely changed to spring/summer tires at the moment, and we will definitely change again in October.

Superb tyres. I have 4x4 because I live on the lower third of a hill in v. I never got stuck with my previous Avon Rangers but had too many hairy moments when descending down the hill, so I bought these for winter use. What a transformation, these tyres are huge and the car can be left in 2wd where 4wd was previously necessary. Climbed up the hill where Land Rover Defenders failed. It was quite happily descended with well loaded trailer

The only thing missing from this winning combination is the "price to quality" ratio. These tires are well worth the money. Hard to compare to other tires as I haven't driven on winter tires since getting them. But, they do everything I wanted them to - boldly, economically, and responsibly. Timo Makkinen might have a more objective view on them, but I think they're great!

The tire is not bad, quiet, and holds direction well. It does well on fresh snow. Of course, on ice, as with any non-studded, it requires attention, and even on studded, believe me, you need attention. In general, not a bad winter tire. It was made in Spain.

Spent 4 seasons. A good "crammer". On slushy roads with "gravel" - ideal. For Moscow and other large cities - the best. On compacted snow, be cautious, as traction is poor. On ice - same situation. Thus, those who spend most of their winter driving outside large cities, where no de-icing agents are used, where snow and ice are not cleared and do not thaw for a long time, may be better off with something

I fitted these tyres to my wife's car at the start of last winter. When the snow fell, and believe me (we live just north of Aberdeen in the country), the transformation was amazing. We've driven 'good' 4x4s for many years, this was the first winter without. The little Yaris went to places I wouldn't have thought possible beforehand. A true step up and gives great confidence on snow and ice. I highly recommend these tyres.

Excellent tire, six months of hard driving in western Ireland, probably some of the worst roads in Europe! The grip on fresh snow was exhilarating lets me go as I like. I would put them on again next winter. Very happy customer. Well done Nokian.

The car isn't performance oriented, so comments on rear end slippage in dry and etc. reflect that it's not being pushed hard on any limits. But in dry there were none. In snow they were great however. I could slalom up steep slopes with no issues at all, even places where a 4x4 with summer tires struggled. Fantastic difference, not trying to kid you, I'm actually scared.

The tire was perfect initially. I had to replace it with a new one as there were issues with balancing. I couldn’t understand why, even after rebalancing, there was still a vibration at 100 km/h after a couple of weeks. The specialists said it was due to the tire, a strange property of it.

The only time I got stuck in deep snow last winter was when it was so deep the car was effectively grounded and it was 2 wheels, not Quattro. I'm really impressed it's worth every penny.
