Whily noisy because of the studs, it's a low pitch that you can easily tune out. I found the tires to be, for an extreme snow tire, excellent in the dry, and good in the wet. I also found that I had good control in slush. In normal turning, the tire can feel a bit vague due to sidewall flex, however under heavier corners I can feel the tire "sit" over the sidewall, and it becomes very stout. In a RWD car (with an aftermarket LSD), I never got stuck this winter, even living on a dirt road with an uphill driveway. I've driven about 3,000 miles on the tires in a quite warm winter (mostly between 20 and 40 degrees fahrenheit), and they look just about new as of now. I've hit some notable potholes and the tires did not pop or bubble, which pleased me. Despite being a sedan, I figured the SUV tire was a good fit due to the body roll, and weight capacity, and this has proven true. Overall, an extremely safe, durable tire, with impressive snow and ice traction. I will be purchasing these again, or their successors in a few years time.

I am not a high performance driver. I am driving with 110-120 km/h maximum speeds in motorways with curves. Regularly under mild weather conditions during winter (-3 to +15 Celsius) sometimes rainy but never iced or snowy roads. I would recommend these tires because of low price and extremely silent for a winter tire. Cons are relatively high fuel consumption & possibility of bad wear. No idea about

Nothing special, just a basic tire which excels at nothing. Wears fast. Reason for changing is that 2 of them split after 12k miles

I wanted to try cheap tires once and find out the difference between the previous ones that belong to a higher price class (Bridgestone Turanza ER300). I drive a passenger van VW Transporter T6, mostly three people ride in the vehicle. The van is driven mostly on the highway at a speed of 100-120km/h (60-75mph). A few times I drove a little faster in the rain through corners and the car held the road as it should. I bought the tires in May and have done 25,000km (15,500miles) to date. The tire still has a 5mm profile, consumption compared to the Bridgestone Turanza is 0.3 liters per 100km higher. After these kilometers, the tire still behaves well. To summarize: definitely a good purchase for people who don't go wild on the roads and I recommend it myself.
Nokian One rated 99% while driving a BMW X3

I have a 2007 BMW E83 over 3,000 miles on my Nokian Ones and live in Seattle, WA. I am incredibly pleased with them.
I’ve read a few reviews about noise but have not had that issue. They are very quiet with one exception, and was right after I bought them. There was stretch of road that had extremely worn pavement, and a large pebbled surface. They were very noisy the first time I drove on that surface but subsequent drives have been quieter, though a bit louder than regular asphalt, which is barely noticeable.
The Nokians replaced the Kelly tires I had on it and they were ok and far louder, though decent 7/10.
The handing has been great in dry and wet even with spirited driving, and am looking forward to seeing how they perform in snow. I also find them very responsive to my input. My previous tires (Kelly) were just ok in that they didn’t feel as firmly planted on the ground, it sounds odd since they of course make contact, but they just felt meh.
My one question is wear, which I won’t be able to determine until the 80 percent wears down. At this time though it looks like they will wear great. If they perform good/great in the snow they would be a definite buy if I had a second car, or need new ones (hopefully after 70,000 miles) and are still available, though it’s likely a newer version will be available by then. I’ll update after I’ve driven in the snow and when the rains starts, which is about now after a very dry summer in Seattle.

Stunning tire. Safe under all conditions. Better than my old winter tires in winter. As good as summer tires. Best wear of any tire on this car so far. Absolute recommendation.

The tire has super low road noise that comes through the cabin, and in the wet handles very well and provides added confidence but still let's you know when you're starting to lose grip, and no complaints in the dry.

As the tire wore down, it really lost it's grip on snow&ice. On the dry and wet I have not noticed much difference, would probably use these tires 1 more year if we didn't have snow/ice here where I live.

Worst tire for noise on my Mk2 Kuga, Repetitive vibration from front, tires checked no bulges/damage etc. Noise started immediately after fitting. Never again...
