Owner reviews for tires

I used to use the X Ices on my GTI and they were great even on that little 2wd. Great tires.

I got a set of Continental Winter Contact SI from Canadian Tire. Pretty good tires imo.

I like NOKIAN TYRES [HAKKAPELIITTA R3](https://www.kaltire.com/en/tires/hakkapeliitta-r3/302532.html)Size: 235/45R17 97T

I just paid $988 USD for Michelin X-Ice, mount and balance. They're great snow tires. I had them on my '15 Legacy last winter in Northeastern US, so lots of snow, mix, ice, etc.

Hankook iPikes are good!

Gislaved tires. They are studded from the factory and made by Continental. They are at least 30% less cost than Nokians and nearly as good. I have had both and will buy the Gislaveds every time.

Best winter tires I ever had were the Hakkapaletta’s by Nokian.

I am using Uniroyal MS Plus 77, in size 255/40/19, last winter they were good, no slips, good braking on wet and mood, will see this year how they will be.

My buddy has them on the rears of his FBO 335i right now. They're not terrible for basic to spirited street driving. They can't handle any power at all though.

I've got Xice3, and unfortunately it feels a bit like driving on jello blocks on dry pavement.
