Tires Hankook or Nokia

Ventus Prime 3 is a solid tyre. I stuck them on my mothers car and they’ve been good. Touch quieter than the Goodyear tyres before.

To my relief, no signs of a downgrade going from Michelin to Hankook. Tyre wear might even be slightly better on the Hankook.

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.

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.

Nokian Entyres = :thumbup::thumbup: after 2 months and about 2000 miles. Nokian WRG2's = :thumbdown::thumbdown: after 20,000 miles

Hankooks are noisy in my experience.
