Tires Kumho or Nokia

I got kumho ecsta on my wrx right now.

Yeah my MX5 had Kumo when I got it, and it loved to throw the rear and squeal a bit. Put RE003’s on it when I got a bit of money, holy shit. Suddenly grip monster

Nokian hakkapeliitta are also good and reliable.

Nokian is better on Snow and ice, less tread life

Michelin is better on wet and dry, but still decent in snow, better tread life

Have a look at the Bridgestone Weatherpeak as well, better tread life and easily comparable to the Nokian in snow and ice.

The Nokian Nordman are great aswell, would argue they are bit better than new Hakkas when there is wet snow on the road (ice and compacted snow, both great).

So, back to Kumho I went for my 2017 Passat. This time, I really looked at customer feedback and choose the highest rated ones, the Kumho Majesty 9 Solus line. All season radial. So many people who had Audi, BMW, and Lexus swore by them. Got 'em on with a front end alignment of course. OMG! This is the quietest this car has ever driven. It glides along the road. We can whisper in the car and hear each other.

I just came across this post after ordering a set of Nokian WR G4’s. This will make my fourth set over the years for different cars, and absolutely love them. Great grip in snow, ice, slush, etc.

I really like my kumho AT's ????????‍♂️

when you lose traction, it feels like it will never get to a stop (and that's with Nokian Hakkapeliittas).

Those tires are very low quality. Rubber is not soft and flexible enough to create proper friction.
