Tires BRIDGESTONE or Nokia

I just put the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS on my Alltrack (225/45/18) and I really like them.

I live in New England and run Nokians for my winter tires on both my wife's and my cars. On hers, we run the WRG4 which is a super winter biased all season tire, really good cold-dry performance, 9/10 in the snow.

I run some Nokian Hakkapollita R2's on some 17x7.5\" wheels for winter and all I can say is the 17's make you feel like you're riding on a cloud.

I am running Blizzak WS80's. The Tiguan has a really good 4motion system in my opinion. Have driven this vehicle in some pretty harsh snow conditions in Upstate NY and Ontario. It has never let me down.

But lately I've been going with the Nokian Hackapillita's for extra grip in the snow. The Nokians wear better in back road snow drifts.

Bridgestone RE-71R alllll day for me.

Correct they're renamed RE-11's. I only use them for summer since I'm in the Chicago area. I've had them on the car for three summer's now and they're pretty much done for now but that includes a couple track days per summer. They're probably about 90% of the PSS in the end they lack the ultimate grip of the PSS but at about a 1/3 of the price. I'd wager I've put about 25k on them in the three summers which is pretty good for a summer only tire.......

My 2018 Tiguan S came with Bridgestone Ecopias. They're nice and quiet. A 2018 Tiguan S loaner that I drove for a week had the Continentals. I'm not sure if it's just in my head, but I think the Ecopias are smoother and quieter.

Id be looking at either the nokian wrg3 if you get an actual good amount of snow or michelin defender if you have a wimpy southern winter

Love them in deeper snow and slushy road but the trade off on dry pavement is HUGE. With the Hakka, my car is dancing all around. I hate that...
