Tires Nokia or Giti

Nokian WRG4 are maybe the only serious competitor to the CrossClimate in that “all weather” category. I just put them on my S and they are nice and quiet and they are a low rolling resistance tire.

We just had our third major snowfall of the season (11'' here in Denver) and again, I'm quite pleased with the way the Giti's have performed at 19K miles. Traction and braking are above average on packed snow and frozen snow.

I like NOKIAN TYRES [HAKKAPELIITTA R3](https://www.kaltire.com/en/tires/hakkapeliitta-r3/302532.html)Size: 235/45R17 97T

Best winter tires I ever had were the Hakkapaletta’s by Nokian.

Don’t cheap out on winter tires. Nokian makes great winter tires, only available from Kal Tire. Michelin X-Ice are great too. I’ve also had success with Bridgestone Blizzak but that was a long time ago, not sure how the current models are.

I would recommend some Nokian winter tires, Hakkapeliitta R3 work well on my car.

I considered reskinning the stock 19" Pretorias with winter rubber, but instead will go with a set of factory 18" Pretorias shod in Nokian WR-G4. My motivation was to have zero fitment concerns, slight upgrade in tire protection, keep the current rolling-stock look which I love, try a tread type that is slightly less winter-storm-focused and instead mixed-winter-climate-focused.

I have these in 225-55-17, great 3 season 80K mile tire for us, very quiet and minimal MPG hit even going with the taller sidewall, double bonus, they are made in russia just like our Haka 8s.

I personally know they are trash. Great advertising, poor engineering. Stay clear of Blizzaks and get Nokian.
