I bought my first Nokian WR D3 in Autumn and there were no reviews. I put them onto my Toyota Avensis T25 kombi. Very comfortable and quiet tyre. I do not feel any swings or grip loses while cornering. Sometimes I even reach the maximum speed of 135MPH. Nokian WR D3 is a realy good tyre. It works perfectly in winter conditions.

I do not recommend these tires due to poor strength, after falling in a hole torn tire, I rode on old tires and never had this problem that I fall into a hole and the tire grip I do not see a lot of differentiation between the tires and cheaper

I thought that Nokian WR D3 will not disappoint me but I was wrong. very low traction in winter conditions... realy poor when comparing to my Dunlop sport. They were 6 years old and they never disapointed me. Nokian WR D3 are much worse than Dunlopss. I dont recommend. these were my last Nokians.

I have Nokian WR D3 on my wheels for 2 weeks right now and my wife has them for 1 month and I dont recommend them. I spent almost 600 pounds for 2 sets and it was my last expense on Nokians in my life. Car is swimming a bit in higher speeds while cornering. I am a driver for 15 years now and I never had such poor tyres - Debice Frigo were much better. Maybe Nokian WR D3 are good in snow. but I am very afraid what will happen when the rain will fall. With braking- poor as well. ABS is turning on every time. Poor tyres. Dont recommend.

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.

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 used Nokians for years. Now after purchasing and using Nokian WR D3 I will never buy Nokians again. In my opinion the driving properties of Nokians lowered very much. Now I will use Vredestein. We will see after the winter which mark I will give to Nokian WR D3.

I had Nokian WR D3 (205/55R16) put on y E46 320d Touring. They have very soft sidewalls at least I got that feeling. I drive very fast and agressive usualy. In cornering my car tilts to its sides. I had the opportunity to drive on german highways with speed of 160-170MPH and I was totaly scared. I did not have such situation never ever. Moving-off and braking- ok. I did not drive on snow. Nokian WR D3 are not worth their price.
