Ford Kuga Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Nokian WRG2 given 97% (235-50-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 average miles
I put these tyres onto my AWD Ford Kuga about 3 weeks before the snow arrived in force. Running in was fine and I did this for the first 250 miles.
Slightly noisier than my previous tyres - Goodyear Excellence on some surfaces. Otherwise no difference in noise levels on Motorways and Dual Carriageways which is amazing for a tyre with such an aggressive tread... My Goodyears did not like White Lines but the Nokians just shrug them off.

In the snow these tyres have been a revelation though and comfortably dealt with shallow snow, deep snow, and slush. My work car park had around 2ft of snow and people with 2WD cars had to have pushing help in both parking and getting out again. I was able to park and drive out again with no slide whatsoever and no assistance. Able to use 1st gear as normal too in the snow which is a first. Stopping and starting generally greatly enhanced.
Going uphill in country lanes and passing car after car which was stuck or spinning really underscored just how effective these tyres really are. Sure the AWD played its part too but without the Nokians, I would not have had anywhere near the grip that I currently enjoy.
Looks as though Nokian will be my tyre brand going forward.

Driving on a combination of roads for 48000 easy going miles
These tyres were fitted as standard equipment, and have exceeded my expectations for wear and safety in most conditions. I find them rather noisy but I have not tried other tyres on this car, so cannot compare.
I would not recommend these tyres for winter, they are a definite summer choice. Would I buy again? Probably not, but not because of the tyre, rather that my next tyres will have to suit more varied conditions and the car's 4x4 drive-train, so will be a M+S all season type.
