Given 89% while driving a Mercedes Benz s320 cdi (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Just replaced Khumo with Nokian and what a difference. Nokian feel more direct, grip better in the corners, very comfortable and quiet, don't track and in general handle better all round; I would say that these are the best I have tried to date.

Great tires on my peugeot 407. Much better grip than my previous Pirelli P7.
If the mileage is good I will buy them again.

Given 96% while driving a Alfa Romeo 156 JTD (215/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 15,000 spirited miles
Superb Tire! I've put them on the car to replace the Bridgestone RE050. What a difference. These tires are perfect on the road, but also on the track.
Did 3 hrs trackday with the ZLine, and the wear was only 1 mm.
I've been using them for 22.000 km and the wear is now 3.5mm's.
In wet these tires are the best i've ever had.
I will buy them again.

Given 87% while driving a Mercedes Benz CLK 320 Coupe (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
Have put 2 nokian z lines on the front to replace conti sport 3's on my clk 320 cdi sport, only done a few hundred miles, so early days but very impressed to date, they really are as the other reviews on here say about them, quiet, ride well, very stable, a considerable improvement on the conti 3's, have tried pirelli and michelin in the past, these are better to date, if they see a sensible mileage too then highly recommended

Given 97% while driving a Alfa Romeo 159 (245/40 R19) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
Tried these Nokian z Line after what others have said on here and a little online research of the company. They replaced Michelin PS3's so had something to live up to. And they did. Really impressed with them wet or dry.
The only detractions has been the roughly 1mm per 1000 miles wear. But the 159 is a heavy car and notorious for its appetite for front tires so I've rotated them to the back now. And also the finish. One of the pair I have has a paper thin strip of rubber along the edge making it look unfinished. That should have been removed at the factory on final inspection to finish the tire off.
Also would like to mention the brilliant idea of the wear indicator on these Nokians. This tire has a series of numbers in the tread that as you drive wear away so you know exactly how much tread is left at a glance. Brilliant idea and should become mandatory.
So I will most definitely buy again as despite the cheaper than the big brands price, I personally don't feel the performance they offer is any lesser.

Given 86% while driving a Nissan 350z (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
Great tires. They grip really well, wet or dry. Compared to my old tires (cheap ones), at the limit, they let go less progressively then I was used too. Other then that, they are pretty silent and comfortable on my 350Z. Oh and they look good too :)

Given 89% while driving a BMW 530d (225/50 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 700 average miles
Excellent tire, Wet grip superb, high speed stability very very good, very little effort needed to control car at 250kmph. Comfort and noise really good.
Only minus is a little higher wear that Goodyear/Michelin and dry grip during hard cornering when it is hot could be a little bit better. But that is probably due to my heavy car and tire size.

Given 96% while driving a Vauxhall Vectra SRI 1.9 (150) (215/50 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles
Excellent tires. I just put two on the front to replace some Marangoni Verso tires that had no wet grip whatsoever, and not much dry grip either. The old tires ruined the handling of the car. The Nokian's are a revelation. The grip in wet and dry is amazing. The ride is extremely quiet and when driving a little more quickly they are progressive and give good feedback. I was impressed with their Winter tires but Nokian have produced a winner here for Summer too. Would definitely buy again.
