Tires Nokia or Hifly

I wouldn't settle for anything less than studded Nokians if you can afford it. They'll be hard to get this late in the year, but you likely already know that. I live in western NY though, so YMMV.

+1 for hakka's ... they also have a all-weather tire, think snowtires you can drive year round ... I've had blizzaks, xice's, dunlops, sotto's, alpin's etc and sofar the Hakka's have been as good if not the best.

I bought Nokian Hakkapelitta R3s for my MKVI Golf R before last season. These replaced Nokian WRG3s. The R3s were a noticeable step up in grip in snowy conditions last winter on the Matterhorn 225/45/R17

I’ve put these tires on now two different midsize cars, and have been thrilled.

I have some Nokian A/S on my Audi sedan. They have been great this summer around Denver and in the mountains on spirited drives. Would recommend

225-55-17 Nokian EnTyre 2.0 installed for over a year now, love em.

I have Nokian SUV3 (I think) all weather tires on my AWD Rogue. They are much, much better than the factory supplied all season tires. I would rate the winter traction at about 90% of a winter ice tire. In the summer they're a little loud but still perform well.

I had WRG3’s on my car and honestly they were fine. Maybe it’s because I have never had winter tires so they felt like a nice improvement over the regular ones, but I had them for maybe 5 winters and never had any issues at all.

I run Nokian WRG3s on a Civic. I found they were great, particularly in the shoulder seasons -- it means I don't switch to my winters until it's actually fully winter. Great for those times (like this october) where the weather is all over the place.

I had their entyre series, basically the all weather option. A bit too firm for my liking. After 20k miles, they became very noisy.
