Tires Goodyear or Nokia

I own a pair of Nokian zLine summer performance tires. Bought them brand new last year, did around 15000~20000km with them and the tread is almost half gone.

They grip magnificently though.

My first two sets were the OEM Conti's and PureContact. They were both great in fuel mileage and (Dry) grab & release specs. I just put on a set of Nokian eTyers 8,000 miles ago . The three areas where (IMHO) the Nokians out perform the Contis is in: quietness, rain & snow. The Contis were better on dry pavement but were noisier.

R Wagon, studded 17" Good Year Ultra Grip Ice Arctic. I'll say no more..

I have never felt like the studless Nokians were terrible in the dry - I've had all-season tires I felt were worse - and the one key component that magazine tests can never capture is how traction holds up over time. I have 2 seasons on the Michelin's but not a ton of miles so I haven't seen how they do when worn yet, but in my experience that is the Nokian's trump card - that you get great snow and ice traction for the entire life of the tire, nearly down to the wear bars.

The most eye-opening trait of this Hakkapeliitta R2 is the way it steers on the snow and recovers from understeer. As steering angle increases, the R2 continues to turn the car where the other tires give up. Get into the push, dial it back a few degrees, and the grip returns. It feels more like a summer tire in the wet than a winter tire in the snow.

I've had good experiences with pirelli scorpions, bridgestone blizzaks and nokian hakkipaleltelatlalas.

I put on a set of Eagle Sport all-seasons about 10K miles ago and I like them. They grip well and road noise has been non-existent. But they do maintain their grip on wet roads.

I had Eagle F1s on my RSX after having a set of Nitto summer tires. I have to say, I loved them. Grippy, and handled minor inclimate weather way better than the Nittos.

For the EV, I go with a 215/65/16 or 225/60/16 as there's no need to have some wide tire setup on a EV unless you are going for looks or some offroad setup. I choose whatever is cheaper. Right now I have a set of Nokian ENTYRE's on both the Jetta and EV. Both last a long time (they have a 720 treadwear rating) are quiet, don't go out of round and the ones on the EV have the correct 102 load rating and a useless H speed rating because only way I could ever see going that fast is to pull a Thelma and Louise into the Grand Canyon.

Asymmetric 2's, not the A/S version. I've driven the A/S version in rain and was underwhelmed with those too. At least in heavy rain, I wouldn't want them--that's based on only one experience, but they were at least 8/32's and were not impressive.
