Tires Kumho or Nokia

MSW type 52 & nokian R5s . The gloss black looks just like the OEM darks, and are quite affordable. R5s review very well as a winter tire

Get some Nokian tires, I am super happy with mine (piggfri) as it's a rear wheel drive, and we like to get sideways. But the grip is amazing, love these tires. Kost about 7 000kr for a complete set. And it is worth it.

If its one thing to NEVER be stingy on, is winter tires, especially in Norway. I've never even heard about these tier makers and I find it sus. Go for nokian hakkapeliitta, it's a brand driven and tested in nordic countries for decades. More pricy? Yes, definitely, quality is high and they know their stuff. But sure, buy some cheap made Chinese made tiers that will be worn out by the end of the year and probably serve you shit to nothing in terms of safety when its needed.

Check finn if better tires are to expensive for you. I just bought a set of 2 year old Nokian studded for 2000kr. Just stay away from cheap tires all together and don't buy used tires older than 4 year old unless you know what you're getting.

I always buy the nokian winters. They never fail to impress me.

Tiguan 17” steelies, et38 6.5w. I might have went a little too nuts and ceramic coated them, metal valve stems, greased weights/stems for anti corrosion, ordered Transporter T4 Lug-covers from EU and put Nokian R5 Hakkapelittas on

Yea I work at a tire shop they look exactly like every other set of nokians we throw on

Apparently they perform well which must be true since their winter tires are very popular where I live too. It is just the quality of the material itself that's awful.

I will not buy  Nokian. Dry rot and cracking on sidewalls on 3000 miles. Didn't stand behind their warranty

730s are pretty disappointing as an autocross tire. They thrive on heat, but it’s hard to get them hot enough that they will work well for autox. They are awful in cold weather.
