Tires Kumho or Nokia

My suggestion is that the R2 is the best when it comes to not becoming really noisy after a few years (the Nordmans on my Jetta are pretty noisy). I have R2's on the Alltrack and had them on the Eurovan (it now has the Rotiiva AT's on it and those thing are the best Nokians I've ever had for all year use). So, skiing up in VT and driving through big snowstorms and ice, the R2 works just fine.

Nokian's are essentially the best you can buy. If it's anything related to winter driving, the Finns know how to do it.

I'm running Nokian WRA3 on my Fiesta ST during cold periods. They've got me through a few years of deepest, snowy Bavarian winters.

Been absolutely great, no complaints about them.

I have the hakkapeliitta tires for winter on my CTS-v's, best damn winter tires you can get.

I actually have the Kuhmos on my 530, and I've been pretty happy with them. Very quiet and seem to grip well. Just my two cents.

I went with Nokian Entyre 2.0. They handle really great, balanced out with no vibrations, and are quite quiet. If you get stuck driving in the rain these tires handle great in wet conditions as well. I've had them on for 40'000 and I'm still at about 70%. Good tire for lots of miles.

I did. So far so good. For the price they seem great.I had some tiger paw performance tires on my car before and the kumho seen to ride just as well

I am very impressed with the traction on Ice and Snow its amazing.

I had 245/40-17's Kumho MX's on my WRX and they were okay, but didn't have the ultimate grip of the Falkens.

Love them in deeper snow and slushy road but the trade off on dry pavement is HUGE. With the Hakka, my car is dancing all around. I hate that...
