Nokian is very popular in Europe where I actually live, since I got these I haven't change the brand, they are accessible, safe and grippy, I recommend these.
very good tires, using them every day of the year and today 05/09/17 there is 5 to 8 mm of gum which is really not bad that they stayed all year mounted.
Good tires for European winters, Nokian tires are engineered in finland where the winters are severe and cold, this way tires perform very well in such a weather conditions, i recommend these!
