Not being smart, but what or who are Nokians? I have never heard of them.
I run Yokohama c-drive on my BT7 and they really suit the car (205/65-15 on
6"rims)

There is a lot more about tires than just being round and black.
Many of the Chinese and some Korean tires are awful. They are usually cheap
but their performance, especially in the wet, can be downright dangerous.
There can also be issues with braking, high speed performance, straight line
stability, steering characteristics etc. They may be suitable for an
agricultural machine but they certainly do not belong on the wheels of a
sportscar I had new Hankooks on my car and they were absolutely frightening
in the wet. They were discarded of within 1500miles. Changed them for
Nokians which transformed the car.
Check consumer tests from ADAC, Stiftung Warentest, Which etc. OK, not the
right tire size but you will get the idea.
