Nokian Encompass AW01 review

“So the AW01 have 5/16 left off of just 10,000 miles two years I didn’t rotate them but pretty shabby. I was forced to keep them on the front and bought some AW02 and when they get to 4/32 they will prorate them for me Discount tire! They gave the usual excuse about heavy EV. My EV is only 3500 pounds, how far do you drive? I only have 68 miles range. Do you go in the mountains? No, I just tootle around town and go on the highway. Although if you look at the poor bastards with the Nissan Ayria, they’re also in the same boat.”

“Cracking along shoulder Borrowing my father’s ‘09 Lexus and he has a set of Nokian Encompass AW01 DOT 14/23 and noticed this cracking along the shoulder. Reading online that Nokians recently produced around 21-23 timeframe are prone to early dry rot and it’s apparently “cosmetic” not structural is what Nokian says. This looks exactly like the photos I’ve seen online. Problem is I’m borrowing his car as my VW has a coolant leak problem and I’m set to drive 80 miles on the highway to and from for a job interview tomorrow. Now Im having second thoughts about borrowing his car. If someone can give some insight as to whether this would be safe or not because my luck is that it’ll blowout on the way to my interview.

“If it's $60 per tire get the AW01.”

“I put this tire on our accord about 3 weeks ago. It is quite on the highway and so far does well on the snow and ice. I noticed hitting bumps on the highway are not as jarring with this tire.”

“Just joined forum so late reply with moral support. On Model 3 AWD I just replaced original Michelin MXM4 AC tires at 30k miles. Really. Car just 2 1/2 years old and tires already gone. Rear wore faster than front as well on AWD. Just bought Nokian Encompass AW01 all-weather tire (not “EV”), based on reviews here. (Fwiw, Nokian is established Finnish company w/ tire manufacturing in Tennessee.) Still evaluating impact on range but ride is smoother and handling feels solid.”

“Nokian vs CrossClimate 2 - Tires Saw Kyle Conner’s Nokian video and just finished a 3000m road trip myself - and need to replace tires pretty soon. Was going to do CrossClimate2s…but now thinking Nokian. I am wanting something I can use all-year round as living here since 2013 I’ve done fine with that. Thoughts? Based on DiscountTire’s comparison of the CC2 and ENCOMPASS AW01, the Nokian is quieter, but the Michelin stopped a lot better. I don’t see the Nokian One at Discount Tire - just the ENCOMPASS AW01. I run the original 18” wheels. Curious who else has tried them. Read more”
