Comment:
As a retired person, I now drive mainly for pleasure, although I also commute to a part-time job through country back roads. Apart from this, my main driving is on motorways and major A roads, as I am a leisure sailor and need to travel to the coast.
My experience with the Nokian tyres has been very good, they are a definite improvement in terms of safety and fuel consumption over the Dunlops which were fitted when I bought the vehicle second-hand three years ago. I notice no significant difference between driving on dry and wet roads, and although I haven't yet had much opportunity to test them in snow, they seem to work fine on the few icy mornings we have had so far this winter.
