Tires Nokia or COMFORSER

I drive with WRGs on my Lancer. They're amazing, but don't expect ice grip that's comparable to a true winter tire.

Having said that, the great thing about WRGs is that they're \*absolutely amazing\* at preventing hydroplaning during the summer months.

Highly recommended.

I live in New England and run Nokians for my winter tires on both my wife's and my cars. On hers, we run the WRG4 which is a super winter biased all season tire, really good cold-dry performance, 9/10 in the snow.

I run some Nokian Hakkapollita R2's on some 17x7.5\" wheels for winter and all I can say is the 17's make you feel like you're riding on a cloud.

But lately I've been going with the Nokian Hackapillita's for extra grip in the snow. The Nokians wear better in back road snow drifts.

Id be looking at either the nokian wrg3 if you get an actual good amount of snow or michelin defender if you have a wimpy southern winter

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.

Hate to be a neighsayer, but I've haven't been really impressed with the Nokian Hakkas. For all the praise they get on the forums, I was pretty disappointed with how they performed. I live in Central NY so we get tons of snow, so I got to test them out in a variety of conditions and they never really seemed to have traction. I had a set of 195 wide studless tires on my Golf. Upgraded to a GTI and the previous owner threw in a set of 225 studded Hakkas with the car. So I've tried these studded and studless, and have tried narrow and wide tires. I'm looking to try some Blizzaks this year if I can get my hands on them. A family member had them on their FWD Audi and the traction on them seemed really impressive; we were driving on a road that was completely covered in snow and he was swerving left and right and the car rode like it was on rails.
