Nokian Seasonproof 2
Replaces the Nokian SeasonProof
A wet-weather specialist all-season that feels safe and refined day-to-day, with standout aquaplaning resistance and strong rain braking. The trade-off is less convincing dry handling (especially in sportier fitments) and some question marks over snow traction consistency and wear.

Nokian Seasonproof 2 Owner Reviews
Review this tireWhat owners say summarised from 21 reviews
Owners generally rate the Nokian Seasonproof 2 highly, most often praising its strong wet grip and reassuring all-round safety, alongside a quiet, comfortable ride. Snow traction is also frequently highlighted as impressively winter-like for an all-season tire, with dry-road grip getting positive mentions too. A meaningful minority report mixed feelings about steering precision and stability at higher speeds, and around one in five owners mention fuel economy/rolling resistance not being as good as hoped.

Comparing to the Goodyear 4Seasons Gen3 the Nokian are awful in wet or dry conditions because o the subjective feeling that they have no grip, mainly on bends.
Noise levels are good.

After installing the Seasonproof 1 and being happy with it, I decided to put on the Seasonproof 2 and it has improved a lot... good performance in water, they provide safety and are very comfortable... they are not sports tires, but in water they provide safety... I don't know how they perform in snow... silent just like the Seasonproof 1... happy ☺ so far good wear.

Car hasn't driven that much since the new tires were put in place, as my mother doesn't drive much anymore.
But it has saved our ass during the winter 3 times : once because my company car had no winters on and we had sudden snowfall to a work site, and twice because my brothers rentals were on summers in the middle of winter and we had to drive to the mountains.
Overall the tires are working well. Much better feedback than the old eco Goodyears, takes on snow, freezing temps, cold and warm rain, and the extreme summer heat of 2026. Braking is good, nothing bad to say on safety.
Fuel consumption doesn't seem to have gotten worse compared to the old eco tires.
Comfort and noise are pretty good, in the city, on the highway and on open B-roads.
No changes compared to new, but they've not been worn that much.
They're on my list of must-buy for the old folks in the family when replacing their tires.
And on my own list to replace the winters on my RWD sedan when it'll be needed, as the grip is good and we don't get that much snow during the winters anymore.

Good feeling on dry roads.
Quiet tire (audible only around 50 mph) and quite comfortable.
Better than the Vredestein Quatrac tire on snow.
Better than the Nokian Weatherproof tire in the rain or dry.

As I wrote in the previous review, I still find them excellent in the wet, due to their great feeling of security, great riding comfort and low road noise.
I recently had the opportunity to test them on snow and some ice, and I was very surprised by the grip on the snow, very similar to that of a winter tire, with great response when accelerating, braking, and turning. There's a 12% incline to my house, and they didn't lose traction at any point.
I like these tires more and more each time, and they surprise me more and more. I didn't expect the performance these all-season tires are giving at all.
I still highly recommend them.

Noise: I don't know why but Nokians are much noisy between 30 and 70 km/h. Above 70 - very quiet.
Energy consumption: I drive mostly in the city. I had average consumption on summer Michelins around 130 w/km with outside temp 15 degrees C. On Nokians - 145 w/km.
Dry grip: I can't complain. I do not drive in extreme way.
Snow grip: It is ok. Driving carefully feels comfortable. I guess premium winter tires would feel better. But I live in Poland - our winters are mostly wet, not snowy.
Wet grip: OMG. Michelin ePrimacy is a complete rubbish in comparison to Nokians. I drove 140 km/h in a very heavy rain in cold (4 degrees C outside) - extremely good grip - not even a slight feeling of lack of traction.
Overall: In a few weeks I got used to the noise. Energy consumption could be better, but I think it is a good price for the level of grip (safety) Nokians have.
I was waiting for Michelin Cross Climate 3, but they do not produce this size (which is default wheel size on Tesla Model 3 - very weird decision from Michelin). But I am happy with Nokians overall.
PS: I have SilentDrive version.

The wet performance is very good, with excellent handling and a great sense of security. It's very safe on frosty mornings.
What I noticed most about this tire is the comfort; the casing is very comfortable and the ride is very quiet.
Really satisfied with this tire, I will definitely use it again.
The quality-price ratio is excellent.
I'll keep an eye on the tire life and update the review once I've driven more kilometers.
