Tires FEDERAL or Nokia

I have a RWD car and run Nokian WRGs in the winter (I swap to some regular all-season tires in the summer).

Overall, the Nokians are a great tire. The only problem I've had is the entrances to the Bonnie Doon traffic circle where the ice gets polished to a mirror finish and makes it near impossible to get started. This is literally the only place in the city where I've had this problem though.

The All Weather Nokia tires are awesome. I bought them for a Ford Fusion as I wanted something for winter but didn't want to do the swapping of two sets of tires and rims, and those worked great for the 4 years I drove the Fusion in Edmonton. They handled great in winter and held up in summer.

I drive with WRGs on my Lancer. They're amazing, but don't expect ice grip that's comparable to a true winter tire.

Having said that, the great thing about WRGs is that they're \*absolutely amazing\* at preventing hydroplaning during the summer months.

Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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

After two years with the car finally some wheels and tires. 18’s on Federal RS-RR 235/40/18. Definitely love the grip

I drove about 8k miles on a set of RS-Rs. They ride fairly stiff and produce a hum. Wet traction actually not bad at all. Dry performance was obviously exemplary.

I was thinking about running 185/60-13's for a while. All that I could find where Federal 595 and Achilles 122 which are both ****ty tires.
