Ford Freestar Sport SE minivan Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Nokian WRG2 given 100% (235-55-17-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 35000 spirited miles
I put my first set of Nokian WRG2 tires on my 2005 Ford Freestar minivan just prior to the first snowfall of 2008. These tires have proven to be the most impressive tire I have ever owned. I live in a small town called Innisfail here in the province of Alberta in CANADA. I know what winter driving is like since I am 50 years old and have driven here since I was 14 years old back in 1974.

Currently five or six days a week I need to drive 45 kilometers (30 miles) into the city of Red Deer to work and then back the same 45 km at night to get home. I put the Nokian WRG2 tires on my van at 98,433km. My van is now at 148,745 km for a range of 50,302 km so far. I am actually certain I could easily continue on these tires for this winter 2010 - 2011 as well, they still have 5mm of tread left on each tire. The durability is great, the first tire I have ever had that was looking fresh at 50,000 plus kilometers.

I am so impressed I am going to get a fresh set of WRG2 tires this next week. I am just now checking out which tire dealer to do the deal at. The current set was purchased from a company called Kal Tire here in CANADA and it was a solid deal, at $228.85 Canadian dollars per tire.

As for the actual tire performance ... AWESOME! Truly frikkin' incredible! The highway I travel on almost every day is the main North to South corridor in Alberta. It is a very, very fast four lane highway with a rated speed of 110 km/hr (70 mile/hour) but most traffic moves at 15 to 25 kilometers per hours faster, so 85 to 90 miles per hours!

In the winter there are insane storms and blizzards where the temperture drops to minus 40 degrees Celsius and the wind rips along over 80 km per hour. In Alberta weather like this is common at least 5 to 20 days per winter. No matter how ugly and brutal the weather I am still needing to get to work and home again. My Nokian WRG2 never let me down. Some days I would see dozens of vehicles in the ditch, I never had a moment worry.

The winter performance is as good as some of the dedicated winter tires I have owned. I have never gotten stuck and have been able to drive up hills and slippery streets that were impassible to many other vehicles.

If you are looking for tires, there is no reason to keep searching.
Just go get a set of Nokian WRG2 tires and see for yourself.

Oh yeah, I do not, and have never worked for any tire company, etc.
This is a sincere and appreciative opinion that I have for these tires.
So let me say the following as clearly as I possibly can :

Nokian WRG2 All Weather Tires are remarkably good tires year round, but they are so good in the winter they just might save your life from some nasty accident. I have never been as impressed by any tire I have owned in the past and that includes most of the major names.

In my future I will be a dedicated Nokian tire guy running the WRG2 tires on all my vehicles except my motorcycle. ( that is another story )
