    The good: Bought 4 Nokian One 225/65/17 tires for my Dodge Caravan, primarily because they were cheap. Ya get what ya pay for, I guess. The only positive thing I can say about them is they wear well; now at 45K miles and could probably go another 20K or more if I weren't afraid to drive on them. The bad:

    1. Poor traction, dry and wet. Punch the throttle a little bit from a dead stop and the result is wheelspin, even on dry pavement. Wet pavement, well, enjoy the sound of spinning tires. Light snow- forget it and stay home.

    2. Rough riding. Tires transmit pavement joints and irregularities as if they were pumped up to 60 psi.

    3. Extent of weather cracking is scary. All four tires have circumferential cracking at the point where the tread and sidewall meet. They look like a retread getting ready to throw the tread. I'm afraid to drive on these at highway speeds.

    I installed 4 new Tire Nokian One HT on my van and What a surprise when I saw my tires. Pieces of rubber are missing and tread is losing the rubber. They still are at 7/32 inch deep and the Nokian representative told me that There is nothing he can do because they are worn out and need to be replace. Stupid answer.

      We purchased our Nokian Outpost tires through CJ Tires back in May of 2022. The tires began to separate at the shoulder of the tires. We took it to CJ tires to see if they can cover the cost since we haven't even reached the 65,000 miles for the warranty. The manufacturer told CJ tires that the best they can do is give us $300 through the warranty. That's ridiculous. I don't recommend Nokian tires to anyone. Their warranty makes no sense! This company should be paying full price for the tires! It's their brand and it wasn't our fault this happened. Hopefully this gets to them because they need to do better in following through with the original warranty!!

      I purchased 4 new tires last year. 215/55R17 Nokian ONE BW 94V TL DOT 03B4313570722. I rotate the tires every other oil change which is done at 3500 miles. The tires have less than 30,000 miles and all 4 are splitting on the side wall. No one can explain what happened. I had to get 4 new tires which are now Goodyear. Stay away from these tires.

      I’ve had to replace now 3 tires, this one less than 3k on the tread. Did not get same tire or go to same shop. Worst tires ever. I had warranty but chose not to get same tire again. Very disappointing.

      I purchased four WR G4 for my Honda truck. They are supposed to have 60K warranty. They went under the 2/32" after 31,000 miles. Tried to email the company twice. No response. Spent an hour listening to their super annoying "200 miles north of the allowed maximum **." phone. No answer. In short, the tire life is half the warranted, and service is unavailable. Never touch them again, and I strongly suggest neither should you.

      Purchased four new Nokian One HT tires for my truck 3 months ago. Noticed recently there was a chunk of tread missing out of the middle of one of the tires. Sought to get tire replaced under pothole protection warranty through the retailer and also through Nokian. Nokian denied both claims saying that the tire was not a unserviceable tire. Tire cannot be balanced at this point because of the missing tread and rides terribly down the road. It's obvious that the tire should be replaced under warranty. I will never buy a Nokian tire again. Their customer service team was unprofessional I felt like I was working with a fly-by-night one man tire operation that sells used tires. I do not recommend this company.

      I have run these tires for about 30,000 KM and have nothing but good to say about them. As a sport tire I like that they squeal before releasing from the pavement which lets you know a lot more about your handling than tires which just release from the pavement without any notice. My mileage from the tires is above what the factory calls for (65,000km per set) and I will probably get closer to 80,000km out of them. I drive hard as the comment above shows and I have had these up at very high speeds too and no problems there either. I really have nothing bad to say about them. I noticed that for my car club where tens of thousands of reviewers have commented on Nokian tires (BMW car club) that they are favored over Michelins, Pirellis and other high end tires about 5:1. They also come with the stronger XL side rating for heavier and or faster cars.

      I also use their snow tire but my area has more ice than snow. I would say the Michelin Ice radial is better on ice than the Nokian snow tire but then Michelin has both a snow tire and an ice tire where Nokian only has the snow tires which are two different needs. The Nokian snow tire are marginally better than the Michelin snow tire so it all depends on whether you need a snow tire or ice tire on which brand I would pick for winter. For summer (where I still use an all season) the Nokian is clearly better than any other tire I have tried.

      Mounted these to my 2020 Kia Telluride in Oct'20. Dec'20 took a road trip from Toronto, Canada to Austin, Texas and back. On the return path from St. Louis, IL to Toronto went through 2000Km of snow storm. And this heavy snow where the road is not visible or only lane caravan on the highway. I was able to cut through the storm as if the Tellu was on winter tires. Must say, in the beginning was not sure how they would perform, but that trip it boosted my confidence. The ride is smooth, much quieter than winter tires and many cheaper all-season tires. Braking & handling in snow, icy condition & rain is good. I will not take same risks over snow as I took with my dedicated tires and these tires do not place themselves to that level as well. In Wet/slushy snow conditions also these tires do pretty good.

      Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires are absolutely the best Winter tire you will find. I make the 8 hour drive from Fairbanks to Anchorage trip once a week in a Volkswagen Passat. I have tried many other premium brand Winter tires and the Nokians out perform them all. I found out about these tires through a lifelong Alaskan friend and have become my family’s tire of choice. My wife makes the dreaded commute from the MatSu valley to Anchorage daily. I feel comforted knowing she has proper Winter tires. My 17 year old daughter is new to driving and needs all the help possible to stay out of the ditches. I believe her studded hakkapeliita’s give her an edge.

      We have a Mercedes Sedan, a newer Ford Edge 4wd, and a Mini-Van 4wd, now all running Nokian tires, previously we used Good Year Triple Tread, Michelin X-Ice, Altimax, which were all pretty good tires, but nothing compared to the Nokian's. We have always researched all our purchases, these tires and the service we have received has been flawless. The only reason I am writing this is that there are two reviews slamming these tires and I can only think they are lying. We live in Alberta, Canada and experience from +40c to -45C running all weather Nokian's in the worst winter and changing summer weather, from heavy rain, hail, black ice, drifting snow and more. Never have I felt safer and more secure knowing that my family is using Nokian tires.

      I bought 4 Nokian eNtyre 215/55R17 from Amazon 2.5 years ago. Found cracks on side of the tires, and sent pictures and the invoice to Nokian USA. Nobody answer for 2 weeks. Finally made contact with them and they explained that Amazon is not authorized seller, and on this case don't have warranty. The warranty for the material defect they advertised 5 years from date of purchase or 6 years of date of production. Customer service are ridiculous, maybe customers can feel better if they know that don't have customer service for this company!

      I bought a set of 4 Nokian tires a few years back. I couldn't believe the performance I got, in some of the worst snow in the New Hampshire. There was a bad snowstorm and I saw a car get stuck on the hill that leads to my house. The road was packed snow, but, very slippery. The hill has got to be approx. on a 25-30 degree incline. I immediately took a left on a side road to go around the car. When I got on the side road, I realized it had not been plowed and had approx. 5 inches of snow. I have a 2012 Hyundai Sonata.

      As I turned the bend in the road, I saw that this hill was as bad if not worse than the main road. I was ready to call for help, but, the Sonata with the Nokian tires had no problem to my amazement. I came back on the main road ahead of the car that was still stuck on the hill. I just put another 4 tires on the car and am looking forward to winter. The car has been driven by my wife for the past 2 years and insisted on the new Nokian tires. I have them on the Sonata and on our 2011 Hyundai Elantra. And this weekend I am putting a set of 4 on my 2016 Toyota Tacoma SR5.

      My Nokian tires were recommended by sales as being good for every day and very good on snowy town roads. They are made in Norway and have aggressive tread on one side of tire. These tires were road tested. They are good on wet roads and snow around town although they're probably not adequate for snow in Rocky Mountains in winter. They're as good as it gets except for a snow tires.

      My tires are made using environmentally friendly materials, designed with an all-weather blend of rubber compounds (soft enough to work in winter, hard enough to survive in summer), and designed with multiple channels and tread measurement systems. Nokian WRG3 All-Weather tires are pricey - but you absolutely get what you pay for. Two sets were bought over two years ago by my hand - one for my brother, another for myself - and both sets, despite seeing heavy use, still have plenty of tread life remaining; last check was around 8-9 32nds. We got them for their strong tread life, excellent quality, and environmental consciousness. Of all the tires the shop sold, Nokian was top notch in all areas. I've had them for at least 60,000 KM.

      The tires have excellent braking and cornering. Also, slips the least in winter and drives the smoothest in summer. Following proper tire rotation guidelines has seen even and minimal wear on a full set of Nokian WRG3s despite the extreme distances driven. (There have been at least four interprovince trips and three trips throughout my home province.) Also, proper tire rotations and wheel alignments will easily see a single set last you several years.

      Two brands have been purchased by my hand - Michelin Defender and Nokian WRG3. Aside from the all-weather performance of the latter, there has been little difference between the two tire sets in regards to performance - and both tire sets are constructed as environmentally conscious as is possible in this day and age. Which brand you choose will depend on your environmental consciousness and on your budget.

      With some skepticism I went "all in" over 3 years ago on a full set of four (4) Nokian WRG3 tires for my 2009 Genesis sedan, which is a rear-wheel drive and powerful (~ 300 hp) car that I drive in the unpredictable and tough New England weather. Suffice to say that I drove the set for 60,000 miles with not only minimal wear - I still could possibly have survived another winter with the remaining tread I had on them - but with confident performance in snow, snow/ice [although NO tire is truly ice-gripping, let's face it], heavy rains, summer heat... you name it. Excellent cornering stability, smooth and quiet ride on highways or backroads, and never once had a flat or service issue. I am a big believer in them and just put my $$ where my mouth is TODAY and bought another set of 4 for the same car... granted, I'm $1,000 lighter but will drive home confidently and for at least another 60K miles! :<)

      The tire durability is very satisfying. It is very tough. It lasts me through the whole year and it still keeps going. Matter of fact, it could last me over 2 years. The warranty is very good also. It lasts very long and is very good. I would use these tires my whole life if there are none better than these tires. These tires performance are excellent. They are very tough and high-quality tires. They seem like they would last a lifetime. I'd rate 9/10 on them. I'm alright with the value of the tires seeing how good that they are in action. They are better than most tires and most tires cost more than they do.

      The tires have lasted me for a very long time now and I have no issues with them. Very durable. Would recommend to my family and friends and aunts and uncles and nephews and cousins and 3rd cousins. The warranty is not for much time at all. It's about a year which is not enough in my opinion so I would say the warranty is about average maybe. Its performance is the best ever. I've never had better tires until I had these and I probably won't ever switch because they are so fantastic. All tires are expensive but I guess that's just how much they cost. So the value is average I suppose.
