What owners say
No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.
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.
By owner reviews
74/100From 104 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.

The Nokian WR G4 is widely praised as an exceptional all-weather tire that successfully bridges the gap between a comfortable summer tourer and a capable winter performer. Users consistently highlight its impressive wet traction, confidence-inspiring snow and slush handling, and surprising ride comfort, eliminating the need for seasonal tire swaps.
Pros
- Outstanding winter and snow traction, approaching dedicated winter tire performance
- Exceptional wet braking and hydroplaning resistance
- Quiet and smooth year-round highway ride quality
- True all-weather capability with the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating
Cons
- Faster-than-expected treadwear or shorter longevity for some drivers
- Increased road noise or humming on certain vehicles as the tires age
- Tendency to pick up and fling small stones or gravel into the wheel-wells
Worth knowing
- Drivers of heavier electric vehicles, like the Tesla Model 3, noted that the high torque impacts treadwear, making these tires a balanced compromise for year-round utility.
- Owners of AWD crossovers and wagons (such as the Subaru Outback and RAV4) heavily praise the deep-snow and slush competence, turning adverse winter commutes effortless.
