Translation

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

Badly chosen tire in the car (factory set - I had no choice). Superb used in 50% of motorways require tires with a higher speed rating than 210. The tire in this index tends to deform dramatic and "losing" balance for such a heavy car. This Learn from other users for comfort, handling, steerability is true. Tires are generally OK but for me 2-3 thousand kilometers and vulcanization. Car falls into a tremor becomes niekierowalne like. Changes to the index GY about 240 km and the highest possible capacity.

I was expecting a nice surprise, but I do not think that the Scandinavians should also winter tyre well to keep wet. Wet road, light bow and do not need more speed to "fly".

After two seasons tire starts to slip especially in the wet, it can unfortunately after that unpleasant surprise. After three seasons, which currently is a tragedy, despite deep tread (tire I could easily this season and still neastępny serve). At a temperature of 3-8 degrees C tire in the wet now virtually no grip which should not happen after 3 zesonach, which is why I mention, and certainly not on the same. I would add that I write about the wet pavement without puddles, that there is no excess water. Also in the snow is no longer good but it is not a tragedy. I check again after two seasons Nokian WR A3 is a tragedy. What to judge the quality of the tire is good, because no bulges, good broth and is quiet (even comparing Michelin years). An additional drawback is hard and feel much more inequality but probably because it's the one with reinforced.

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.

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.

When it is wet it lacks adhesion to dynamically accelerate even. As for the twisting it is not bad.

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.
