Tires Nokia or OEM Volkswagen

Nokian One. They are cheaper than top tier tires with the same or better ratings. They have a 80k mile tread wear warranty, reinforced sidewalls and great grip in the rain. I live in the PNW and have had them for only a couple months but I highly recommend.

Mine is a beast with Hakkapeliitta R3 snow tires.

I have nokian outpost all terrains on my rig. I love the way they look.

Just installed the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV tire. They come with the right load range and speed rating and are surprisingly quiet on the road. I don't have but a few miles on them, but they look good and fit nicely though at 33" instead of 34".

Those Nokian's are one reason I went and purchased a Subaru in 2013.

Friend has the Hakkapeliitta's on his Outback.

On the year it snowed heavily, had an emergency call out. I wasn't going anywhere.

He called and said "I'll take you" and my reply was "in what? A snowmobile?" His reply " no, Outback". I was like yeah..sure

Half hour, I hear his horn outside. He takes us to a lot not plowed and said get in and drive.

I was like, OK I'm close to home, I can walk back.

I put it in drive, sep on the gas and HOLY SHIT! It was amazing!

He took me on the parkway, people sliding, going off into grass or worse. Us? Cruising like it was spring.

Found he had the Nokian Hakkapeliitta's on. Damn things are so good, you could climb a tree

On the way back, we pulled out countless cars, SUV's and trucks from snowbanks, woods etc.

That sold me on both Subaru and those Hakkapeliitta's!

The Nokians are a solid choice. After extensive research I went with Michelin X-Ice for better hydroplaning and lower rolling resistance. All other testing categories were within the margin of error.

Blizzaks are great. Nokian Hakkapeliitta's are out of this effing world.

Not sure what you went with but the Nokian WR G4 are great tires. I've used 4 pairs of the WR type of tires over 15 years in Michigan, Oregon, Utah(In the Canyon), Washington and Colorado on a front wheel and AWD drive SUVs/cars. They work great and are snow tires.

I ha dto change my tires e-brake, e-brake lines, brakes rotors, rear subframe bushings and I have 8 codes on my car sayin I now have electicall problems.

I had G-2, G-3 and now G-4. but experiencing dry rot on the G-4's and can't keep them balanced--shimmy at certain speeds even when balanced, and they are getting noisier and noisier--thought I had a wheel hub issue.
