Nokian Nordman Tires

A standalone entity of Nokian, the Nordman brand was refreshed in 2023 and its family of tires was introduced way back in 2004. The Scandinavian tire maker’s Nordman family comprises winter and all-weather tires for passenger cars, CUVs, and SUVs. Being a Finnish brand, Nokian has an ace up its sleeve in the winter tire category as it has the only permanent winter tire testing facility in the world. Let’s look at the Nokian Nordman family to learn about its members and their special traits. Here we go:

Nokian Nordman 9

Designed for passenger cars, CUVs, and SUVs, the Nokian Nordman 9 is a capable winter tire featuring specialized tread pattern for exceptional performance on ice, snow, and wet. With a directional tread design, the Nordman 9 alias Nordman North 9 provides precise steering response, enhanced durability, and exceptional control and balance on slippery surfaces in moderate to severe winter weather conditions. Thanks to the aggressive tread pattern with 3D sipes and lightning-shaped snow grip boosters, the Nordman 9 delivers accurate handling and enhanced stability on wet and snowy roads. While the NorthTech 9 compound is flexible yet firm and delivers superb winter grip, control, and wear resistance, the optimized stud distribution across the tread provides extra biting edges for strong braking, traction, and stability in snowy and icy conditions. With a fantastic SimpleScore of 8.4 out of 10, the Nordman 9 scores 8.3, 8.1, and 9 in traction, handling, and longevity. It is a great fit for the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, and Mazda 6.

Nokian Nordman Solstice

For drivers who experience moderate to severe winters in their regions and need a tire that serves them year-round, the Nokian Nordman Solstice all-weather tires are a great option to go for. The all-weather tire maintains a remarkable balance between winter grip and summertime handling, rolling confidently over snow, slush, and water. While the Solstice 4’s asymmetrical tread pattern with stiff shoulder, improved center sipes, and curved inner shoulder design boosts its stability and handling, the semi-open SolsticeTech 4 siping and zigzag, closed 3D locking sipes ensure the vehicle sails through snowy, slushy, and watery roads. Backed by a 50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, the Nokian Nordman Solstice 4 scores 8.5 in its overall SimpleScore with consistent ratings of 8.5 in traction and 8.6 each for handling and longevity.

The Solstice is available in four avatars – Solstice 4, Solstice Asymmetrical, Solstice Directional, and Solstice Directional CUV. All are all-weather tires designed for passenger cars except for the Directional CUV, which fits CUVs and SUVs.
