Good adherence dry and wet
Normal touring tyre while much better then Michelin eco which came with the car.
Comfortable and low noise tyre.
Seems comparable to Uniroyal rain sport 5 while more comfortable.
Not enough miles to fully evaluate wear. Will report later at mid life.
Normal wear for now.
I'm already on my second set and I'm very satisfied. I bought them for $95 a piece, and the value for money is unbeatable. They are completely safe even at 110 km/h in pouring rain, there's not even a hint of aquaplaning at this speed, despite water runoffs, etc.
I definitely recommend the set. Sure, there are probably better ones out there, but for this price, its a no brainer..
Check out how the BEST all seasons tyres perform against premium summer and winter tyres!
Absolute fine tyre for dry hot summers aswell (35C+), won't harden or crack when stored properly in winter. After 60k miles, tread separation/break started to show.
Which tyres do you drive?
Researching the Nokian Wetproof 1? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
I tested these tires on a hybrid AWD RAV4. The car was a rental; I work delivering cars and I drive a lot, changing cars frequently. I drove on a route full of curves and roundabouts at a brisk pace, and despite the car being tall and heavy, the tires were very comfortable, without compromising road grip. Of course, the steering felt slightly softer on turn-in, but the lateral grip was incredible, as was the braking. These are truly excellent tires in terms of price, safety, and comfort. If they perform well on a 2-ton hybrid SUV with plenty of power, they will be more than excellent for smaller, regular cars.
Hmmm...all good only a little aquaplaning and fast wear ,hard to find in UK,I buy them from Italy,maybe I can go to 18.000 miles with them,now I have 5.000 miles,all around good tyres,if you want longevity go for Michelin,but price it will go (long)evity too LOL.
Bought them to replace a worn set of Michelin energy saver.
They are very comfortable and much more silent than the Michelin.
If you want to decrease the road noise this is the perfect tyre for you.
It is not a performance tyre by any means but you can feel when it's losing grip in the dry, they lose it in a linear fashion.
I am quite happy with this buy until now.
Will update this review after testing wet performance and wear.
Extremely nice price to value ratio. Decent grip in dry conditions, great grip in wet conditions. I already put 10,000 kms into them. They are still doing great but of course you can see that they started to wear. No dry rot, no weird cracks. In conclusion I am very happy with them.
Bought them for 71$ per tire. The tire is very safe on dry road. The first thing I noticed compared to the old set is much much better road feel and control. The tire is very predictive, and safe for driving. Wet grip is also excelent, although I didn't have a chance to test the high speed grip on a wet road. For standard road tire, this is more than enough.
Budget price, feels like a premium tyre. Very safe and predictable in all weathers, appears to be wearing well. Not easy to source. Mine were imported into the UK from Germany.
Great value for money. Forgiving performance when nearing grip limit with a nice linear profile. They do seem to wear out a little faster though but overall a superb value offering from the Finnish manufacturer.
