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.

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.

Mid-Life

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.

Updating the review... Tested both on wet highways at temperatures of 7-8°C, everything was fine, good grip and good braking... But the best part is here, because I reached the mountains where the temperatures were 2-3°C and it was raining... Tight curves, hairpin bends, uphill and downhill, violent braking and the tires were simply fantastic, deliberately forcing the maneuvers, the tires simply held. Without even the slightest hint of loss of grip, I was afraid to push the car further on those roads and those conditions!! The lateral grip and aquaplaning management are even better than the winter Continentals I had before. Tested on snow and ice, the same roads, even frozen slush areas, never a single hint of uncertainty, you accelerated and steered and the tire was simply excellent, as if I were driving on dry surfaces. Nokian has truly created an excellent product, in the face of those who criticize all-season tires for not being good in winter... I recommend them wholeheartedly!! Phenomenal tire!! To recap: on dry surfaces, excellent stability at high speeds, safe and relaxed steering, on wet surfaces, plenty of stability and grip, decisive and very powerful braking, on snow and ice even better than the winter tire I had before, the car handles excellently.

Just had them fitted. I previously used Toyo R55a summer tires and Continental WC TS 870 winter tires. Obviously, it's too early to talk about performance, but the car feels more stable and the steering is more responsive, which I prefer to light and twitchy steering. The car is slightly noisier, but that's normal. The initial tread depth is 8.3mm and the rubber is very soft! I can't wait to test them in wet or snowy conditions.

I am updating my review of this four-season tire after a few more kilometers with them and using them in different weather conditions and on different roads.
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.

I bought the tires to use them as winter tires, alternating with summer ones. At the beginning, in low temperatures, they seemed to brake and maintain traction worse than the Pilot Sport 5. After running them in, these parameters improved. On snow, they are very good—almost like top-tier winter tires. On wet and dry roads in corners, they perform very well. They are quite quiet. They could brake a bit better on wet surfaces, but overall they are really very good—I would compare them to top-class summer tires.

I have replaced original summer tires (Michelin ePrimacy) with Nokian tires.
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.

Extremely quiet tires - they transformed my not very well sound insulated Corolla hybrid TS!!! Done only 1000 motorway miles with the Nokians so far in the currently wet UK weather, with anything between 0 to 10ish degrees C and the tires feel very safe. They do well in corners too - complaints there. Haven't tried braking hard with them yet, and hope I won't ever need to do so. I am not a racer boy anymore and always keep plenty of distance from the vehicle in front. Haven't tried them on snow yet, and I really hope to see some snow this year, I am ready!!! Wear still to be seen, and I hope they will last as long as my previous Good Year EGP2 - did almost 50k miles with them and the rears(which I kept) still have 4.7mm (good enough for another summer). Only one draw back on the Seasonproof 2(so far) - lost approximately 3 MPG compared to the EGP2s. If you are looking for a very quiet and comfortable all season tire, which is one of the best in wet, and should do well on snow(warm dry to be seen)....I do recommend the Nokian Seasonproof 2

This is the second time I've fitted 4-season tires and this one is definitely much better in every way compared to my previous CrossClimate 2.
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.
