Nokian WRG2 Reviews:

Given 93% (breakdown) while driving a Mitsubishi Outlander (225-55-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
Fitted these just in time for the first snow here in the Uk and they transformed the car. Unbelievable grip in ice, shallow snow and slush. Like other reviewers I have been able to drive on surfaces others couldn't. The ride comfort has actually improved from the OEM tyres. Road noise is slightly higher but not enough to notice. Grip in the wet is superb and the steering stability has improved. Even had some moments entering deep standing water at speed and it was a non event. I cannot praise these tyres enough - looking for summer Nokians now.

Given 93% (breakdown) while driving a Toyota Yaris (175-65-14-T)
Driving on mostly country roads for 1,000 average miles
These tyres have transformed my winter driving experience. Why did I not fit them sooner?
Previously, I had struggled driving to work on single track, non-salted/cleared roads. With banks, impassable to me before with summer tyres, the level of grip is "jaw-dropping".
This is no joke. I have never driven so safely in these winter conditions for 32 years.
I will seek out Nokian tyres for the summer also.

Given 87% (breakdown) while driving a Mercedes Benz E320 (215-45-17-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 2,500 spirited miles
First winter on these tyres, fitted to car as soon as the first frosts arrived.

First few days i thought i'd dropped a clanger, wheelspin easily once on a damp road, but after about 500 miles of bedding in that problem vanished and since then they have proved excellent in all conditions, especially good on cold wet roads where standing water is of no consequence and obviously come into their own on ice and snow.
My driveway is very steep, with summer tyres i would not get out without clearing the snow, with these it just climbes out with up to 6" of snow whether fresh, frosted or hard packed...superb.

Uncannily quiet smooth ride too.

Only done a few miles and no wear, nor would i expect any yet.

Given 74% (breakdown) while driving a Saab Automobile 9.5 2.0 Turbo Estate (215-55-16-H)
Driving on a combination of roads for 110,000 spirited miles
I live rurally and was considering buying a 4x4, instead I fitted these winter tyres just before the snow came in December. Unbeleivable, can drive in anything, snow, black ice, slush. Passed Subaru Impreza on a steep snowy hill. This morning the black ice was bad, so bad you couldn't walk on it, cars strewn everywhere, but not mine, could even climb steep hills. Impressed? I'll say.

Given 100% (breakdown) while driving a Audi ALLROAD 2.5 TDI (225-55-17-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 200 average miles
SNOW TYRES FITTED JUST BEFORE THE RECENT WHITEOUT IN THE UK. THEY GRIP AMAZINGLY WELL ON SNOW, ICE AND SLUSH. DROVE UP ONE OF THE STEEPEST HILLS IN BRISTOL COVERED IN COMPACTED SNOW/ICE, NO OTHER VEHICLE HAD BEEN UP FOR A WEEK, DIDN'T STRUGLE FOR GRIP, BRAKED ON ICE WELL ALSO. I CAN RECOMEND THESE TYRES - A+++ AS THEY SAY ON EBAY!

Given 96% (breakdown) while driving a Fiat Grande Punto 1.4 8v (185-65-15-T)
Driving on a combination of roads for 2,000 easy going miles
Impressive tyres, yet very quiet. The grip is jaw-dropping no matter if it's dry or wet. In fact, slush, snow and cold wet conditions are where these tyres really come into their own. You actually don't feel a change in road conditio! I mean, you know that yesterday was dry, today it is snowing, yet the grip is there! It didn't ran away! You brake, corner and accelerate normally! Awesome! What can I say: I'm a "nokian" now! :)
