Nokian Tyres WR D3 - User reviews

Translation

So far I'm satisfied, I drive on them until the first season and beyond more noise if I do not have more comments. After that, I find it difficult to assess without a winter tire winter.

If no manufacturing defects 3 of 4 used tires opinion is positive. Unfortunately the nature of defects - crack front tires visible from the outside and from the inside only after the removal violated in a serious confidence in your brand and product

I have Nokian WR D3 put in my Punto Evo. It is hard to judge the snow drive abilities coz we do not have snow in Cork yet. On dry and wet tarmac they are behavior is similar. Sometimes I have to brake suddenly because of the "road morons" and my ABS does not turn on. The braking is realy good. In the corners my feelings are the same as my coleagues wrote above. I am not driving 130 Mph in corners but even with the speeds of 60mph you can notice the "swimming to the sides" ( I dont know how to describe it) but the tyres dont lose the grip. Nokian WR D3 have a good shock-absorbing properties and they are very quiet. Design is awesome. Nokian WR D3 - worth my recomendation.

I did not use Nokian WR D3 but I want the potential buyers to pay attention to the fact that Nokian WR D3 is a very stiff tyre (almost like a summer tyre). In comparison to my wifes tyres (Fulda Montenero 3) Nokian WR D3 feels like made of concrete. It may be caused by the 99/ XL indexes.

I gave 4 because I did not have the opportunity to test these tyres in hard winter conditions. I bought them because I have been using them for years and I cannot say anything bad about these tyres. Nokian WR D3 is a Finish tyre so I assume that people in Finland know how to make a good winter tyres. I hope that Nokian WR D3 will behae superb.

Nokian WR D3 is a very soft tyre. The presure that I had in my Nokians was 2.2 bars and my car was swimming a bit but I solved it by puting the air presure inside y tyre to 2.4 bar. The behavior on wet road surface could be better because right now I'm not fully satisfied. On the dry tarmac they are sufficient but a winter tire would never be as good as summer tyre (on dry road surface). I never had the oportunity to drive on the snow with them so it is hard for me to judge. I drove a bit on ice but I wasn't so excited. To conclude: Nokian WR D3 is a good winter tyre but no revelation.

Tire for the price revelation! Snow is her element! In the snow, I feel very safe, great running car whether cornering or uphill. Really great safe tire for the winter. Only on dry asphalt loud. I would recommend!

I wrote already about the Nokian WR D3, what I wrote was: on dry road - average. On wet road - poor. Now I have new expereiences. They act very good on snow. I was in Poland and the winter was realy scary. I did not have any problems with drivig out from a deep, wet snow in the temperature of +2 degrees. It was imposible to ski on such snow but my Nokian WR D3 were driving on it like a boss. When I was comming back to England I had a accident. I was driving behind a truck when suddenly a piece of tarmac hited my tyre. I got a sudden flat - the hole was 4 x 4 cm but the tyre behaved perfect - no wobbling, rumbling. I just pulled-over and the tyre was very stable. Nokian WR D3 - brilliant tyres

Nokians WR D3 are doing very well in winter. I drove this winter about 3k and I have no restrictions to their winter properties. These tyres word much more worse on dry road with higher speeds - imo the sidewalls are too soft and when you are cornering with high speeds the car tends to swim. The soft sidewalls are a cause of the igher rolling resistance as well. Nokians WR D3 have no problems with driving in deep snow and ice. I am very pleased with their winter properties.
