Tires Nokia or OEM Volkswagen

I had Nokians on my 3, and I livelive in Wisconsin, where they handled the snow and ice, and loved their performance.

When I lived in Michigan I usually had Nokian tires on. They make great snow tires and I think their all weather tires preform better in the snow than most brands.

Nokian makes good tractor tires though cause I’ve had a set for over ten years and they look good for their age.

I have since tuned my GTI and installed summer tires, it has only further cemented my decision. Now the car pulls harder but you still have to work with the car to put the power to ground.

I put these, in this size, on my R1S— they seem great so far (2 weeks). Maybe a little more road noise?

Na autě mám celoroční Nokian a nemůžu si stěžovat.

I had them on an 2015 Accord sedan for four+ years(7/8 months per year), fantastic tires unfortunately I cannot attest to snow as I switch over to Hakkapeliitta 9 in Mid November as we have a Winter Tire Law in Quebec Canada. They are very good on the wet, great on dry, not particularly loud and wear relatively well but tire pressure and one good alignment a year is a must in Montreal with the fluctuations in Temperature and pot holes in the spring/summer...

My wife wanted a tire that was more comfortable, quieter, and had better treadwear than the OEM summer tires. So far, we're really happy with these tires.

Even though there's no acoustic foam like on our OEM tires, they're quieter. They're practically silent up to 50mph but there's a slight hum at freeway speeds. They're not as loud as the OEM Continentals.

They're also much more comfortable than the OEM summer tires. With the Ohlins suspension and OEM Continentals, the Polestar 2 was surprisingly jarring over small bumps on the road. One thing that I noticed was that the Nokian sidewalls seem to be pretty soft/flexible.

Tread life should be solid. Handling/Performance feels like 85% of the OEM tires.

All in all, these aren't track tires. Nor are they the sportiest tires in the UHP All-Season class. But they're a super practical choice for a wide range of coupes and sedans - they should wear well, they're comfortable, and provide enough grip to have fun.

When I transition from my summer tires (Pilot Sports) to my winter (Nokian R3), it feels like I'm driving on springs. Lotsa sway and movement.

17 years ago (approx) got Nokian Hakkpellita P2s winter tires - only good for #1 season 6k miles I think - #2 the tires were notably poorer (no good)
