No, not for me.
Don't know. Respectively. ...but there's no doubt that AS tyres as a whole have improved hugely in the last decade, so if Nokian haven't improved theirs then yes, they will have slipped back relative to others. TyreReviews will tell a story and be as objective a guide as you will likely find. https://www.tyrereviews.com/Article/...-Tyre-Test.htm Notable that Nokians don't feature. |

Nokians?
Thanks for responding. I don't remember seeing Nokians in any English-language reviews. The Germans love them and they get great reviews in the German press.

Nokians?
Just had a quick butcher's at some German tests, and it looks like Nokian have not advanced as much as other manufacturers. Or, they have stuck to their main focus of winter-oriented tyres while others have gone for more all-round AS tyres. Interestingly, one of the big tests put the Vredestein Quatrac 5 at the top, and I understand it is similar to the Pro. The Pro also seems to get good reviews for noise and rolling resistance, so I am tending towards those now.

I had a pair of Avon ZX7’s put on mine a few weeks ago, found the best fitted price I could online (it was National Tyres at the time as they had a discount code running) then did a price beater online with F1 auto centres which brought them in at just shy of £97 each, second set I’ve had on, for me they work well, last ok and are quieter (and considerably cheaper) than the Michelin Pilot Sport 4’s I tried before them.
