Tires Nokia or OEM Volkswagen

I'm at over 50,000 miles on my WR SUVs and still have a lot of treadlife left.

I had the WRs for 50 K until I got too many flats on them that they could not be repaired anymore. Anyway they were great for 50K and awesome in the snow.

The WR G2's look like really nice tires. I've driven two winters and 6 days worth of Audi Club Winter driving school on my older generation WR's and I've only burned off 2mm of tread.

i had nokian hakkipilettas on my saab and they got through anything.

Try looking up NOKIAN brand tires. got a set of them last year and they turn the EV into a snow mobile in the winter and do real well in the rain as well.

Not in my experience. I run 32/32 and my tires now have 35k on them, and are good for another 5k or so more no problemo. Wear is about as even as I've ever seen for a tire this far into its useful life. I messed around with a lot of different pressures before settling on this combo, and it's what works best for me.. and definitely no adverse wear issues.

FWIW, I had 225/45R17 Nokian Hakkas on my 2001 TT Roadster, and I had absolutely no problems on hard-packed snow or loose, slushy wet snow. I distinctly remember leaving a big, jacked-up Jeep with all-terrain tires in my wake at a stop light in about 8 inches of unplowed snow!

I tried both Golf GTI with 195/65-15 and the R32 with 225/40-18 last winter, and the R32 was much better to drive even if the tyres are wider. I have 225/45-17 today (winter tyres, without spikes of course!) and they are awesome. Quite, nice handling

I had some Hakka's on my 85 Vanagon, all four wheels, they were very good. Felt better in most cases on snow than the summer Dunlops did on dry pavement.

When I bought my 85 Vanagon used, it needed new tires, I went with some Dunlops that I wasn't very impressed with. Plus they were summer only. In 2000 I bought some Nokian snow tires that I was very impressed with. If I held on to the van I would have probably tried one of their summer or all season tires.
