Tires OEM Audi or Nokia

Winter tires. You are probably fine with studless, something like Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5.

Pretty sure that Kal Tire is the only place that carries Nokians. They’re worth it.

We've used Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for nearly 20 years.

Best. Tires. Ever.

I’ve had 22” Nokians on my R1S for 8,000 miles, and noticed no difference in efficiency. I *have* noticed (as have others) that they have significantly more tread than the stock Pirellis at this same point. Given their cost, any increase in “fuel” costs due to worse efficiency (if that is a thing) will probably be more than made up for by the lower cost of the tires, and the (likely) longer useable life.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5. I have them on my Mk7.5 and love them. They are T rated, but very quiet. I do mostly highway driving.

Nokian seasonproof 2 are way to go, nokian is quieter and pattern on them are unique they have central canals for aqualpaning like summer tyres and the treads like winter tyres. I've never seen this before on any allseason tyre brend.

I live in a ski town BC, that averages >30 FEET of snowfall annually. Often roads have caked snow, sluff, sleet & ice. Between dodging tourists, wildlife and staying firmy lodged, I don't dick around. I get the best. Studded Hakka's 10, that just replaced a set that I had about 30-35,000km on.

I just put on a set of Hakka R5s for the winter and the difference in road noise was startling - like driving a whole new vehicle.

I’ve had 2 sets of Nokians(entyre AS and solstice AW) all of them started cracking really early on. Like within a year. Winter traction is ok treadwear is ok it’s a budget tire at best. Not the quietest or smoothest tires I’ve ever driven on.

i purchased 4 nokia tires in july of 2024. by june of 2025 the tires are completely bald. i bought a good tire rated to 80,000 miles and have them rotated and balanced every other oil change. in my entire life i never seen a tire wear down so fast.
