Tires OEM Audi or Nokia

Both are top tier winter tires, just Nokian being generally noisier

Nokian nAT Outpost tires are fantastic (for an A/T) in the snow. Not the most aggressive off road compound but even though it's not a true winter tire Nokian still knows what they're doing.

In my experience Nokian Hakkapeliitta are good, but not as durable as Continental or Michelin.

We just bought new ones last year and went for Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 (studded) as we live in the coastal area and we get really icy roads throughout the winter.

I'm at about 50k on a audi Q4 awd and outside of resetting the inspection light ever 10k miles, washer fluid monthly, and tires at 40k.

I just got a pair. They're nice and grippy, which is good when the car has so much torque, and range seems unaffected, even a bit better than my previous Michelin Premiers.

Zima Nokian, ljeto Toyo.

Jesu bucne, ali idu tamo gdje ti hoces i staju kad ti hoces. Po 3-4 sezone ih vozim bez ikakvih promjena u ponasanju. Jedino ih je bitno na vrijeme zamjeniti jer se nokian doslovno topi po ljetu.

This will be the eighth year on Hakkepelitta's, so yes they are pricey but the quality is amazing. They look brand new because I've only done 35k kms on them!

I would skip the encompass aw01s. I had a set WR G3s and then a set of WR G4s and they were great with low noise and great traction. I then tried these since they were on sale, and I didn’t find them as good as the prior two sets of nokians. They seemed noisier and only excelled in standing water traction. Otherwise snow conditions seemed just average.

Their new US plant seems to have quality control issues. I never had similar issues with my old imported ones, but bought a set a few years ago that came from the new Tennessee plant and they had major dry rot within two years.
