Nokian WR D3 Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 32 reviews

Snow traction is the clearest strength of the Nokian WR D3 in owner reviews, with praise from around two thirds of owners and very few complaints. Wet and dry grip also attract strongly favourable comments, and a smaller group describe useful grip on ice. More owners find it quiet than noisy, although refinement is not universally liked. Longer-use reports are mixed on wear, ranging from several satisfactory winters to disappointing life, so a fixed mileage expectation would be misleading. Around one in eight owners criticise its behaviour in warmer weather, including softer responses or less reassuring braking.

First I want to say that I was impressed with how the car goes on fresh snow or trodden You think you tracked tank underneath. These are the best winter tires that we had. Friends who went to the car on snow. I was asked what model of car tires all have fitted? There's a big difference between this model and the rest.

I fitted these at the start of October which might have been a bit early as they feel a bit greasy in the wet over 10 degrees C, but once the temperature had dropped a bit they really came into their own.

In the dry they are perfect, really confidence inspiring. In the wet, similar but perhaps slightly less grip if you push them. They're a lot quieter than my Continental summer tyres and comfort levels are similar, if not slightly better due to the softer compound.

Ice and snow don't seem bother these tyres, as long as you don't take too many liberties. Slush and shallow snow feel almost like normal driving if you keep to sensible speeds and I've even managed to get up a slight incline through 5 inches of snow just being careful.

All things considered, I would definitely recommend these tyres to anyone considering winter tyres and I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.

Just put those on my Audi after 17inch summer tyre, and couldn't believe the difference compared to any previous winter tires. Superbly quiet and comfortable, and a few days ago snow made a chaos in the city - but not for me. I was parking out and in without any problem through the fresh snow, and driving with amazing amount of control, ASR only kicked in a few times. Still can't say anything about the wear, but just had to write a review after the first very positive impressions.

Fantastic Tyre, I bought a complete set of these tyres for my Vectra after a slippery incident on the ice with my previous tyres. These are so good i've bought a second set a month later for my wife's zafira. I have been out on some very icy days since and it is like driving a different car. Well worth the money

Let me start this way, I drive them for several years, it's certified and guaranteed quality is good investment for the safety of my family on winter roads.
Many British drivers, although do not know what that means but it is just such. :o(

WR G3 really delighted me particularly quiet driving on dry and wet road.

The total gasoline consumption by about 500 miles unchanged compared to summer tires.

I personally look forward to tidy snow, so I was able to complete test their quality.

I think this is the optimum tire in the UK such the dreaded black ice
