Tires Nokia or Vredestein

Nokian WR G4's are low rolling resistance, and does well in the snow/packed snow/ice until the snowflake disappears, and doesn't affect gas mpg.

12000 miles on vredestein hitrac as 245/60/18 on my car. Love them so far.

I have been running snows for over 30 years and the only ones I have ever had that are the quietest, are the Nokian Rotiiva AT. Not perfect, but leaps and bounds better than everything else I have run.

I just in installed 4 of the Vredestein Quatrac Pro from TireRack. They've been on for 2 weeks and initial impressions are much improved over the Giti's. They also have the 3PMSF symbol as well.

I have only used the Nokian's on that list.

I have Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded tires for my VR6 CC here in Alaska. They’re expensive but they make driving an absolute dream during the long winters.

Replaced stock Bridgestones with Vredestein Hypertrack [awesome grip]

Highly recommend Nokian all weather tires.

Honestly the Nokian WRG4 is a fantastic all weather tire. I feel like you either put the tire through some rough terrain that it's not meant for. Or you legitimately got a bad batch of tires.

I have nokian’s do not buy.They are not very good.Get real snow tires if you really are looking for safety.
