Nokian eNTYRE

I am very disappointed with these tires. I purchased them less than 2 years ago, and have been to the dealer several times for rotations and balancing. They were wearing so unevenly that the dealer had to put them on opposite sides to get any more wear from them. They hummed so loud that I could not hear the radio. I will not recommend these to anyone and will CERTAINLY not purchase them again. If anyone asks me about them, I will tell them to purchase any other brand than these.

Bought these all seasons for my Octavia 1.8T 4x4 Scout to give me some winter grip, but not going whole hog with new wheels / winter tyres. I had a ski trip to France planned and was wondering if they'd be a waste of money. I was really impressed. I got all the way up the mountain to 1600m with no fuss on ice and snow covered roads whist others were struggling with snow chains. They also handled the 1000kn each way on high speed French toll road with no real difference from the factory fitted summer tyres. Based on their price (£104 from Mytyre) and overall performance, I'd recommend them.

Fitted these to our Skoda Yeti about a year ago. I would agree they are slightly noisier than normal summer tyres, but not excessively. In normal dry and wet conditions, they have plenty of grip and good feedback - any compromise over the standard "sport" tyres is not worth worrying about. In wintry conditions, they inspire a lot of confidence - in the wet with the temperature hovering around freezing point, there is still plenty of grip and you need to remind yourself that it is very slippery and to keep the speed down. They also have little problem with snow. After 15,000 miles, they are still showing 6mm on the useful tread wear indicators, so they are also lasting much longer than the factory-fit Dunlop SP Sport 01s. Very happy with these, I just wish they were available for my Jaguar XF.

Fine in dry and ok in snow, but low grip in wet conditions. At sharp turns you can feel the car sliding.

I have just completed an entire summer of driving on the eNTYRE. BACKGROUND: I have driven Audi A6' for the past 11 years, and in that time, I've tried several popular summer performance tires and have always used Nokian WR Snow tires.

Now that I've put about 1,000 miles on the eNTyres in dry summer driving, I'm very interested to discover how they will handle in winter driving conditions.

To my pleasant suprise, I found that eNTYRES handled spirited driving on dry surfaces as well as any of the "performance" tires I have ever had on the A6 Quattros. (The primary difference is that the eNTYRE is not speed rated as high as the other performance tires.)

I have taken sharp 'S' curves at 75 MPH with zero slippage and in fact, of all the tires I've had, I would say that these tires best compliment my all-wheel drive Audi. And yes, you absolutely can feel the difference in the 'low rolling resistance' design. It comes across as sort of a 'tighter' roll, although these tires also seem to absorb more surface imperfections / cracks, expansion joints etc.

Snowy weather is fast approaching and they tell us that it will be a bad weather winter. I am looking forward to discovering how the eNTYREs will perform on snow and ice. I may use them up until the Montana USA snow and ice gets to a certain point, then change to my Nokian WR's -- which are nothing short of world-class snow tires.

Hopefully, I'll be able to keep the eNTYREs on all winter.

I think I may have just found the only tire I will ever need to put on my Audi. It promises to be an all-purpose, all-weather, all-class tire. With the possible exception of ultra high performance. But I'm sort of over that anyway! ;

Very average in the dry, positively unsafe in the wet. Heavy understeer and loss of traction in the wet, roundabouts are a problem above 15mph in the wet. I like Nokian tyres, and used many H, V, Z, WR sets, but I will not buy Entyres again.

I bought 2 eNTYRES 6 months ago for my Xsara Picasso.

I did put my old (but not-so-old, they where at the rear wheels before) Michelin Energy at the front wheels, and put the brand new eNTYREs at the rear wheels.

On dry wheather, it's OK.
But for now, my feeling is quite bad on wet road : I experienced 3 times a loss of adherence on the rear wheel, including a full turn-around at low speed (about 40km/h).

I'll wait for a while for the hypothetical end of a "startup period" of these tyres, but if I still have problems on wet wheather, I will put my eNTYREs at the front wheels to wear them as fast as possible and change them the soonest I can !

Excellent tire - fantastic handling. Only using for summer (& partial spring and fall). Have studded Nokian hakkapeliitta's for Canada's winter snow and ice (which is an amazing tire).

I've just put these tires on my car replacing the OEM Michelins. So far I've driven in dry and wet conditions and they perform as expected and more. Slightly louder than the Michelins due to new tread compound but excellent on wet roads including 10-15mm rain. I like the fact that these tires are rated for 80,000 miles and have large rain grooves to reduce aquaplaning. I can feel the tires rolling more freely compared to the michelins. I would definately recommend these tires as replacement to the original tires as they are priced lower than comparable all season tires.

Excellent tyre. Competent at every aspect of driving. Slightly increased noise from summer tyres, but excellent slush/wet weather conditions. Coped excellently in heavy snow but will lose turning grip quicker than winter tyre.

On dry roads, at the limit the car will seem like understeering for short period due to large depth tread block moving

Long wearing
