SEASONPROOF 2

<p>Car hasn't driven that much since the new tyres were put in place, as my mother doesn't drive much anymore.</p><p>But it has saved our ass during the winter 3 times : once because my company car had no winters on and we had sudden snowfall to a work site, and twice because my brothers rentals were on summers in the middle of winter and we had to drive to the mountains.</p><p>Overall the tyres are working well. Much better feedback than the old eco Goodyears, takes on snow, freezing temps, cold and warm rain, and the extreme summer heat of 2026. Braking is good, nothing bad to say on safety.</p><p>Fuel consumption doesn't seem to have gotten worse compared to the old eco tyres.</p><p>Comfort and noise are pretty good, in the city, on the highway and on open B-roads.</p><p>No changes compared to new, but they've not been worn that much.</p><p>They're on my list of must-buy for the old folks in the family when replacing their tyres.
And on my own list to replace the winters on my RWD sedan when it'll be needed, as the grip is good and we don't get that much snow during the winters anymore.</p>

Good on wet and snow, on dry ABS kicked in a little quick. Very comfortable and quiet.

Excellent feel on wet and snowy roads.
Good feeling on dry roads.
Quiet tire (audible only around 50 mph) and quite comfortable.
Better than the Vredestein Quatrac tire on snow.
Better than the Nokian Weatherproof tire in the rain or dry.

Updating the review... Tested both on wet highways at temperatures of 7-8°C, everything was fine, good grip and good braking... But the best part is here, because I reached the mountains where the temperatures were 2-3°C and it was raining... Tight curves, hairpin bends, uphill and downhill, violent braking and the tires were simply fantastic, deliberately forcing the maneuvers, the tires simply held. Without even the slightest hint of loss of grip, I was afraid to push the car further on those roads and those conditions!! The lateral grip and aquaplaning management are even better than the winter Continentals I had before. Tested on snow and ice, the same roads, even frozen slush areas, never a single hint of uncertainty, you accelerated and steered and the tire was simply excellent, as if I were driving on dry surfaces. Nokian has truly created an excellent product, in the face of those who criticize all-season tires for not being good in winter... I recommend them wholeheartedly!! Phenomenal tire!! To recap: on dry surfaces, excellent stability at high speeds, safe and relaxed steering, on wet surfaces, plenty of stability and grip, decisive and very powerful braking, on snow and ice even better than the winter tyre I had before, the car handles excellently.

Just had them fitted. I previously used Toyo R55a summer tires and Continental WC TS 870 winter tires. Obviously, it's too early to talk about performance, but the car feels more stable and the steering is more responsive, which I prefer to light and twitchy steering. The car is slightly noisier, but that's normal. The initial tread depth is 8.3mm and the rubber is very soft! I can't wait to test them in wet or snowy conditions.
