Nokian PowerProof Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 23 reviews

Overall, drivers describe the Nokian PowerProof as a strong value-oriented UHP tyre with very good wet and dry grip, high confidence braking, and a notably quiet, comfortable ride for the category. Many reviews highlight stable high-speed cruising and good daily-driving refinement, often comparing it favorably to other premium options on comfort/noise and price. The most repeated downsides are faster-than-expected wear (especially in hotter conditions) and a softer, less razor-sharp steering/sidewall feel that can reduce confidence when pushing hard compared with top-tier sport tyres like the Michelin PS4.

Fitted them to my Megane 3 rs with 322hp. It is my daily car so I wanted tyres in the UHP range like Michelin PS4. Since I am very positive about the Nokian winter tyres, I wanted to try the Powerproof's as they claim in to be UHP and a PS4 competitor. When I bought them no tests or reviews were placed on the internet.

First of all: this is not as good as the Michelin PS4 and PS4s which I had both the Megane. Not as precise and direct. Also, full throttle in second gear comes with quite some wheel spin. I did not have that with the PS4S's.

It does not give me that confidence as the Michelin's but maybe I have to "read" the tyres better and learn how to push them.

The pro's are more comfort and less noise.

Overall: very good tyre but I don't recommend these if you do a lot of spirited driving or track days. Great for all day though!
