When it comes to tires I don't mess about. The name on the tires means nothing to me. What is important is how they perform. We run several vehicles and change them every 6 months. The first thing I do is change all of the tires to All Season. I have tried all major brands and several of them are very good. However nothing has ever come close to these new Nokian Seasonproof. We are all enthusiastic drivers so the tires have to be the best. We have now covered around 20000 miles on these tires on different vehicles and in severe conditions throughout Europe. In the snow and ice they have outperformed every previous tire by a large margin.On one occasion in a front wheel drive Skoda driving past All wheel drive vehicles whilst they slipped backwards down an icy hill. In the dry they perform like a premium summer tire. In the rain the grip is superb. They are extremely quiet and comfortable and given the punishment that they get, wear very well. Usually there is a trade off with an All Season tire but not with the Nokian Seasonproof. This is by far the best All season Tire I have ever come across. Dont take my word for it try them for yourselves and you will see what I mean. A tire that outperforms most winter tires and summer tires without the hassle of changing them every year. The icing on the cake is that you are buying the best for well under the price of the underperforming premium tires. Nokian please don't change these tires as they are a winner!
