Tires FEDERAL or Nokia

I currently have the Federals for autocross and the grip is fantastic...

I have the 215-65-16 on the Eurovan with the Nokian Rotiiva AT has got to be the best tire I have ever put on it. Summer, winter, ice snow and it works great. If they can work on that 4800lb 2wd monster in a foot of snow, I can't imagine what they would do for the AT. Even going down trails and in mud, it goes through it without a problem.

Upgraded the tires late last year to Federal 595 RSR, they are $300 INSTALLED at a local shop, which is crazy cheap IMO. The car grips so well.

This time, with Nokian WRG3, which have the snowflake rating. Drove to work yesterday with the same Nokian tires; no problem. With decent tires, and throttle and speed control, one should be fine.

I picked up a set of Core Racing winter wheels that look good (I don't like the look of plain steel wheels), and put Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSi tires on them. I just replaced them two weeks ago with a brand new set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 tires. Best winter tires available, if you ask me.

because I had Hakka 8s un-studded on my previous GTI and they were great.

The wr g3 has great grip in the snow and ice

The R2's are really good because they stay quieter than some of the other Nokians.

Go for a Nokian Hakka R2. Any other winter tire just isn\u2019t a Nokian...

As a competitive tire ? No. As a cheap learning/fun tire? yep. He complained about how soft the sidewalls where, even when over inflated at 45ish psi.
