Default which Nokians

Hello,

Just about to replace my tyres and I'm thinking about the Nokians as I've had enough of the others wearing out too quick. I know the WR's last but does it matter if I use winter tyres for summer conditions ie we rarely have a winter in Cyprus,

thank you
George

Cyprus is hot all year so I'd look at your local SUV tyre market sales. The Nokian WR's besides being no longer availble will have a rather soft compound for use in your climate so I wouldn't expect you to get the same wear as we get in the UK. They do have a better off road tread than the Conti's though.
