Tires Nokia or Vredestein

As with all tires, go for quality. Nokkian is the gold standard for studded winter tires.

It’s been about 5,000 miles and I wanted to write a quick review of the Quatrac Pro tired because I couldn’t really find anything. So these were advertised as "all weather" at Les Schwab… not "all season". I will say these are fantastic. I live in PNW and these had done exceptionally well in the rain and puddles. The first 1,000 miles or so was a trip to Montana. It was extremely cold and icy, but the tires still did amazing for non winter tires. That being said, the range did take a hit. Also I am not one to notice the road noise, I don’t really pay attention to that, but these seem quieter than the stock tires. Anyway 10/10 would buy again.

Studded Nokian Hallapeliittas would've got you up this.

My 2021 GLI drives great with Hakkapelitas

I just installed Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 studded winter tires 275/45R21 on the OEM 21x9" rim just in time for the big storm. We got 16" of snow yesterday. It did great in deep snow and ice, going up hills no problem. This is my first winter with the iX and I was hoping the stock Goodyear Eagle Touring would be sufficient in light snow, but I wouldn't recommend driving it unless the roads are perfectly cleared. It was difficult driving on the Goodyear Eagle Touring tires even with just an inch of snow before the roads were cleared, which is what prompted me to install winter tires mid-winter. If you live in an area that gets snow or ice in the winter, it could be worth getting a winter set. Having two sets of tires will also reduce the mileage on your summer set, allowing them to last longer. I don't think it's possible for the stock tires to last the entire 3 year duration of the lease. Based on current wear and other reviews, I expect the Goodyears to last maybe 15,000 miles.

Running Nokian Hakkapelitta LT3 and MSW Type 52 (Black) on my R1T right now!

I purchased a winter tire and wheel set from Tire Rack tires week and couldn't be happier. Tires: Nokian Hakkapelitta R5 - 275/60-20

I know [these](https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Vredestein&tireModel=Wintrac+Pro%2B&partnum=54VR9WTPPXL&autoMake=Ford&autoYear=2025&autoModel=Mustang+GT&autoModClar=255%2F40-19) aren't the cheapest thing out there but I have them on my ‘25 GT and they are great in the snow. Haven't had 1 issue since I put them on the beginning of November.

They were great in winter, but didn't last as long as I would have hoped. Treadwear Rating wasn't very high, presumably because they're soft rubber for good winter grip.

my nokian all seasons which failed on me.
