How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Nokian WR G3 SUV is highly praised by users for its exceptional year-round versatility, offering remarkable winter traction and ice performance that rivals dedicated snow tires while maintaining strong dry and wet road handling. Reviewers frequently note their confidence in harsh, unpredictable climates, though some report trade-offs regarding highway noise and tread life.
Pros
- Outstanding grip and traction in snow, slush, and ice
- Confident wet-weather handling and resistance to hydroplaning
- Reliable year-round performance across extreme climate shifts
- Smooth and comfortable ride quality on dry pavement
Cons
- Increased road noise at highway speeds, particularly as the tires wear down
- Faster tread wear reported by some users, leading to shorter overall longevity
- Occasional slight hydroplaning in deeper standing water at higher speeds
Worth knowing
- Users running heavier SUVs and trucks (such as the Volvo XC90, Range Rover, and Chevy Avalanche) noted that despite vehicle weight, the tires provided exceptional winter capability.
- Drivers utilizing specific sizes like the 235/60R18 XL on a Ford Explorer highlighted great ride comfort and maintained good dry handling.
