Nokian Nordman 7 SUV Winter 285/60R18 116T SUV/Crossover Tire

I can't believe what a solid winter upgrade these were from BFGs on my Vanagon. I was really struggling on icy and hard packed snow to the point I wasn't sure if the Vanagon could be my daily driver, but with these Nokians I have total confidence. They are just ridiculously good, and significantly more affordable than even other Nokians. For Vanagon folks, at 100T the 15" 195 profile tires do have a strong enough sidewall for us so no worries there. As a bonus, on my lowered van these have a significantly smoother ride than the BFGs which by design, are very stiff.

Really good snow tires! I put these snow tires on a 1993 Toyota pickup and a 1998 Dodge Dakota. I choose these because the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 was not available in the required size. I am extremely happy with the Nordman 7 SUV and expect several seasons of service out of this tire. They might not have as many studs or be as aggressive as the Hakk9 but the Nordman 7 is less expensive, nice bonus. I drive mostly on gravel and country roads.
