First winter tire I've ever put on my car. Yes it is somewhat noisy especially with the studs but I had already read the reviews and expected as much. Had nothing to compare it to prior to using these tires. We had a morning with black ice on all the roads and I was thankful for the tires. There were a lot of accidents and I was able to drive around numerous cars and trucks that were stuck.

Put these on a prius prime which now spends most of its time in the garage as AWD is currently a must.
Don't feel as solid on dry as the stock tires. Hard to believe as the sidewall on stock is as soft as a bicycle tire. Don't know is hydrogen would make a difference.
All in all, the studs are what I really needed and I would do it again.

The wrong tires came the first time and the delivery of the second set was delayed so long that I needed to order from a local company and cancel the delivery entirely. These issues were terribly inconvenient.

The dry handling is kind of like driving on gravel. Car wants to wander in a straight line at high speeds. In corners you must take it easy, or understeer will overcome you. About the same with wet, but you know, even more because it's wet. The tire does snow and ice pretty decently, but there is a point where it gets to deep and well, performance suffered. Was a little disappointed tbh. Noise, they are studded so plenty of noise. I like the noise though, like driving on gravel, walking with cleats. Went with bridgestone blizzak ws90's this year.

Very good in Vermont snow. Not too loud on the road. Awesome tires so far.
The Nordman 7 Studded from Nokian is a studded winter tire that offers drivers of coupes and sedans consistent grip on slushy and snowy roads.
Features & Benefits
Winter tread design
Black sidewall
Pinned with studs to enhance traction on ice, slush, and snow covered roads
Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol means this tire is certified to perform in severe snow conditions
Winter weather often brings ice, slush, and snow with it, and these elements can make driving difficult. Fortunately, winter tires are designed to remain flexible in lower temperatures so that drivers receive consistent grip, and the Nordman 7 Studded from Nokian does just that for drivers of coupes and sedans. A slush edge removes slush and snow from the tire's contact patch to reduce the risk of slushplaning, and the Nordman 7 Studded's rubber compound enhances grip in ice and snow. The Nordman 7 Studded is pinned with studs to enhance traction, and the tire is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified thanks to its ability to perform in severe snow conditions.

Nordman 7 Studded tires could be made at the brand's plant in Nokia or Ivalo, Finland, Dayton, Tennessee, Oradea, Romania, or Santa Cruz de la Zarza, Spain. That said, some Nordman 7 Studded tires could be made in other parts of the world.
