^Thanks G M S. Too bad about the DTC lighting up.
Not sure if you had Hakka's or WR's. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...=905766&page=3 post 45 by JB 007 reports that the Nokian Hakka R2 RFT tires...get the traction control light to flash by giving a bit of throttle in 6th gear. The issue is not related with lost of traction, but how soft is the thread. however, JB007's post 46..... Changed my tire pressures, and it made a night and day difference. |

Do run-flats require different rims?
My X3 has non-runflats as standard, and I'm thinking of getting the Nokian WR SUV 3 225/60 R17 Run flats as Winter tyres on the basis that it's not the time of year to have to deal with a flat....are there any problems with that? |

If you can stand a bit softer and vague steering feel on highway and you like to have traction when it is needed (snow and ice), take the Nokians. If you don't mind a bit less traction and stability on bad conditions, take Michelins. Either one you choose you don't get a bad tyre |

I think Nokian WD3s are better on highway, at least they won German auto magazine test for European winter tyres. http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/t...t-4013883.html In here we call our winter tyres just winter tyres (Nordic winter tyres) and winter tyres for higher speeds we call "European winter tyres". |

So far only driving on dry tarmac and actually performs pretty well, a bit softer than my Conti Run flat summer tires but not worse than other winters I have driven, noise is significant less than the Conti but fuel consumption have gone up with around 5%. This tire have won the German test as Rodion correctly says. Here is a link from Nokians own webpage (in english) http://www.nokiantyres.com/files/nok...english-ce.pdf http://www.automotiveworld.com/news-...er-conditions/ This tire is not a bad choose JensM Last edited by JensM; 11-28-2013 at 04:56 AM.. |
