Earlier this year, we received a set of Nokian Remedy WRG5 all-weather tires on long-term review. Designed to accommodate a wide range of different weather conditions the nickname of these tires "The Remedy" comes from the need of many drivers in urban and suburban areas to have one set of tires that can be used all year - but have enough winter prowess to travel where traditional all-season tires can't.
With deep winter sipes for snow traction, a three-peak snowflake symbol and EV-friendly design, we had to test these out. But after four months and the peak of summer heat, how are these winter-friendly tires faring?
It's time for a rotation - and a check in.

Note: Nokian provided us with these tires free of charge to enable us to bring you this first-person, long-term report. Transport Evolved paid for fitting, balancing, and ongoing care.
