Nokian Entyre 2.0 Tire Review & Rating
Although arguably well known for their winter tire lineup, the Nokian Entyre 2.0 touring all-season tire is set to change that. Built for drivers of coupes, sedans, minivans and crossovers, the Entyre 2.0 is designed to provide superb year-round traction and handling to go with a smooth comfortable ride.
Nokian uses an all-new high modulus tread compound with silica along with a comfort base compound that has been created to give this tire a smoother, comfortable and sportier ride quality. In fact, this new tread compound helps the tire deliver ultra-high performance tire like handling on dry pavement.
When the roads get wet, the Entyre 2.0 is up to the task with its unique lateral grooves that are made to store more water between the tire and the road surface, while accelerating the flow from the main tread grooves. Nokian has also polished the main grooves which further enhances water flow and helps in preventing hydroplaning.
Ride comfort and safety are also high on the list of pluses for this latest model. Silent sidewall technology combines with a silent groove design to provide the type of ride comfort you find on the best premium touring all-season tires currently on the market. Not only is the ride more comfortable, but noise levels are noticeably reduced as well. It’s an area that is immediately noticeable when first driving on this tire.
Nokian’s driving safety indicators quickly let you know at a glance how much tread depth is left, as well as a water drop symbol which disappears over time so that you know when the tread depth reaches less than four millimeters, meaning you can expect lower wet performance.
Sizes are available ranging from 15-19 inches, and come with speed ratings of T, H and V. The tire is backed by either a 60K or 80K mile tread warranty.
Pros
- Excellent dry and wet traction/braking/handling
- Performance on snow is far above average
- Ride is smooth and comfortable
- Treadlife
Cons
- Up the wet handling just a bit
Overall Thoughts
We’ll just say upfront that the new Entyre 2.0 delivers impressive all-around performance for a touring all-season tire. Several publications like Consumer Reports and others agree on this as well.
It’s hard to argue with the excellent dry traction you’ll find, and winter performance is simply the best, or equal to the best, of any other all-season tire sold today. No surprise here since Nokian is well-known for their winter lineup. Our only very minor issue we’ve found with this model is the handling on damp or lightly wet pavement. That said, handling in rainy conditions, including hydroplane resistance, is very good.
What makes this tire rate as high it does is not just traction and handling, but it’s overall level of ride comfort it provides. It’s smooth and comfortable with very little in the way of road noise. All in all, this new model offers the type of performance you would find in other tires like the Continental PureContact and Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus. Highly recommended for drivers who want a premium touring tire.

Had the 2.0 Entyre on Toyota Camry 2003. AMAZING in the Snow! Great all around. I Now just put the Entyre 2.0 on a 2007 Crown Victoria 235 55 17 Police Interceptor they look Beefy and sleek at the same time in the larger size tire. They are great across the board just as they were with the Camry.
Last month I put the Nokian Entyre CS on a 2005 Saturn Vue 245 65 17. So far so good as always with Nokian – can’t wait to use the AWD and these tyres in the snow!!
Had the Nokian AT’s on my 2001 Silverado – they were AMAZING Super Amazing in the snow that I didn’t even have to use 4wd not only that they are Awesome looking tires. Will never buy another brand.
Have they corrected the premature weather cracking problem with the Entyre 2.0?
bought these for both cars,Honda Element and pilot in Olympia Wa 2017.These are the most dangerous tires ever for wet traction!!! Once wet,you spin on acceleration slipping all over the place while other drivers try to Get out of the way.Cornering in wet weather will cause a stroke,the car plows straight ahead until you have slowed to a crawl before getting any traction and allowing the tires to finally make the turn.We returned the tires with a few choice words to the manager who insisted the tires were good…until he almost crashed my car trying to prove they were fine in the rain…Got a full refund!!
Just put 4 new enTyre 2.0 on my 2014 Impreza. Never knew a set of tires could make so much difference. They’re so quiet! It’s been snowing a lot and have yet to slide or lose traction.
These tires are cushy, quiet and grippy, fact.
What tires were you reviewing? These things are inexcusably loud; cabin noise at 70 mph makes normal conversation impossible.
These are by far the loudest tires I’ve ever had the misfortune of using. While both the wet and dry grip are adequate — even above average — the noise is an order of magnitude louder than the Yokohoma Avid Envigors on my Integra or the Bridgestone Potenzas on my RSX.
Regarding road noise, I agree fully with the negative reviews. They generate about the same level of noise I used to get with bias-ply lug tires on a 4×4 I had in the ’80’s, which is to say intolerably loud. I look forward to the return of winter so I can replace these with the far quieter nokian winter tires. Yeah, what tire were the other reviewers who reported a quiet ride reviewing?
I have had two sets of these on my 2012 Impala, the first set was prorated/replaced at 39,000 miles due to being extremely noisy, now with 37,000 on this set they are doing the same thing. Plenty of tread left, but I’ll be getting rid of them soon. I would not recommend these to the county dog catcher.
Hey Paul, sorry to hear your bad experience. Not sure why you these tires caused you such an issue. I will definitely research more on this, thanks for sharing with us.
I recently put these on my Subaru Crosstrek. With only dry weather experience so far, I have been more than impressed with the ride comfort, great grip, and sporty reflexes. I will update when it rains here.
These are a high quality product lthat are better than the Pirelli P7 Plus I had on another car. You will be impressed the first time you get them on a curvy road.with the Nokian eNtyre 2.0.
thanks for the comments…I’m about to get these for my ’13 Legacy
