Tires Nokia or Giti

I have a RWD car and run Nokian WRGs in the winter (I swap to some regular all-season tires in the summer).

Overall, the Nokians are a great tire. The only problem I've had is the entrances to the Bonnie Doon traffic circle where the ice gets polished to a mirror finish and makes it near impossible to get started. This is literally the only place in the city where I've had this problem though.

The All Weather Nokia tires are awesome. I bought them for a Ford Fusion as I wanted something for winter but didn't want to do the swapping of two sets of tires and rims, and those worked great for the 4 years I drove the Fusion in Edmonton. They handled great in winter and held up in summer.

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 also have now learned that GITI does have an y factory warrantly with their tires..they dont stand behind them. Now I now its not THEIR fault or fault of dealer but my wifes 2018 passat new to use 4500 miles ago had a belt let go in a brand new less that 4500 miles and has a bulge dealer say giti has no warrantly of any kind so its all out dime. I will definately change these out when they wear out.
