Tires Nokia or PHANTOM

Buy the Nokian! The best snow/ice/slush tire made! In Maine it\u2019s Nokian, Blizzak and then the X ice in that order. I run the R9 studded on both my dubs in 17\u201d. Work awesome

I used to use the G series winter tires but have switched to their newer Hakkapiillita tires and they're awesome.

I've been using the WR G3's the past few winters and have also been pretty happy with them. This has been mainly suburban Boston driving. That said in the late winter early in 2018 had once instance where I had to drive up a pretty steep snow-covered dirt road with them. I thought as I started up there was maybe a 10% change I would make it up the hill.......powered up with no problem. YMMV

Although not a 100% dedicated snow tire I run Nokian WR G4's on the A6. I have never had an issue with anything with them and they hold up a little better than a full on winter tire. Since the weather has been changing so much the last 6 years, getting a full dedicated snow set didnt make sense for me, being in the city. I would highly recommend them to anyone, or if you need full on snow, you cannot go wrong with the hekka R3s

I'll be rocking my 225/50/17 Nokian Haka R2's on my Alltrack again this winter. Absolutely wonderful winter tire, I love everything about them, amazing on ice unstoppable in deep snow. My wife's 2015 Golf has 205/65/15 XIce XI2's which are great on ice, but maybe not quite as good as the R2's, I do find they are not nearly as good as the R2's in snow. Before you say it's an apples to oranges comparison, I used to have 205/60/16 Haka R's on my 2010 TDI Sportwagen so I know what these tires are like on a FWD car.

I bought some Nokian Hakka-whatever 4's in 205/50R17"s and loved them. Years back we got 10+ inches of snow in Seattle and my R was at stock ride height and I drove wherever.

I have the Nokian WRG3 tires on my car and they outperform many of the winter tires I've owned in the past.

I have the WRG3's and I'm sooo happy with my decision. I love them and would buy them again in a heartbeat. They seem perfectly suited to the Chicago winter's I face. As I mentioned in your other thread, my wife has the Toyo Celcius on her SUV and those have been great too.

I've ran Nokian several times and have always found to be decent. I see them as a "winter tire" that is usable in the summer months which works well for Canadian climate where I live.

I'm getting the Nokian WRG4 in 235/45 17 mounted on my Neuspeed 17s for winter duty. All four wheels spinning yesterday on Sumer tires at 30-40mph wasn't confidence inspiring.
