Tires Goodyear or Nokia

Passat Alltrack 2021, Goodyear Ultragrip Ice 2. Sweden

I have Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded tires for my VR6 CC here in Alaska. They’re expensive but they make driving an absolute dream during the long winters.

Highly recommend Nokian all weather tires.

Honestly the Nokian WRG4 is a fantastic all weather tire. I feel like you either put the tire through some rough terrain that it's not meant for. Or you legitimately got a bad batch of tires.

I've never regretted buying the best tires I can afford. Often Michelin and Goodyear, but sometimes others too.

Go with Nokian Hakks.

I run studded Hakks on two of my cars, best winter tires I've ever had.

Michelin X-Ice if you can afford them, otherwise I swear by the Goodyear Nordics as the best affordable option and even what I prefer myself over the X-Ice.

I had Duratracs on my Tacomas when I lived in the Denver area. They were reliable on and off road and handled well in all conditions. They were a little noisy when they wore down, but what 33's arent'?

I have the GoodYear FuelMax on my Volt. Not the worst tires I've ever had, but not great. Very quick to break loose on a highway ramp.

rather snot-slick. They slip in conditions my baby shoes never did. Overall, they are nice and quiet, but their traction is nowhere near as good as it seems it should be.
