Tires Nokia or Achilles

Nokian Hakka R3s is my preference. They’re pretty sporty, so the car drive much like it does on the summer tires instead of the splashy feeling I’ve had from other snows.

Agreed, the Nokian hakkapalitas are exceptional winter tires. But, the Michelin X-ICE snow tires, I have heard good things (from friends, first hand).

I can't complain about the Nokian Entyre C/S, quiet, grippy, and fuel efficient.

I really like my studdless tires. So much better with them. As long as. The ground isn't slushy lose shit, it feels very much like regular clean road driving

Yes, get 16" Tig OEM steelies and hub covers, and have your VW dealer put on Nokian Hakkapellitas or Rotivas, that you can order on Tire Rack to ship free to the dealer or your local shop. Dont wait too long as these are the best winters you can buy

Nokian WR G4's are low rolling resistance, and does well in the snow/packed snow/ice until the snowflake disappears, and doesn't affect gas mpg.

I have been running snows for over 30 years and the only ones I have ever had that are the quietest, are the Nokian Rotiiva AT. Not perfect, but leaps and bounds better than everything else I have run.

I had the ATR Sport 2 on my Mazda 6 and they had excellent grip for an inexpensive tire. Good in the rain.

I have only used the Nokian's on that list.

I went from a set of nokian hakkapalitas to Blizzaks on a 2017 Jetta GLI. Learn from my mistake and never do this!!! You only save money until you need to get pulled out of the ditch.
