Tires Pirelli or Nokia

I’ve put these tires on now two different midsize cars, and have been thrilled.

I have some Nokian A/S on my Audi sedan. They have been great this summer around Denver and in the mountains on spirited drives. Would recommend

I'm running Neuspeed RSe16s 17x8.0 45mm with 235/45/17s on stock suspension - zero rub, plenty of clearance, wheels almost flush. One thing I found out with tire size and ride quality, the tires themselves matter as much as sizing. I initially put on Bridgestone RE980AS XLs and they were brittle and hard as a rock with the standard suspension. A switch to grand touring Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus XL made ALL the difference in ride, sacrificing a few tenths of speed on freeway onramps and a bit of capability in the wet. It was worth it.

225-55-17 Nokian EnTyre 2.0 installed for over a year now, love em.

Our 18 SEL came with Pirelli Scorpion Verdes which have been great.

I have Nokian SUV3 (I think) all weather tires on my AWD Rogue. They are much, much better than the factory supplied all season tires. I would rate the winter traction at about 90% of a winter ice tire. In the summer they're a little loud but still perform well.

I had WRG3’s on my car and honestly they were fine. Maybe it’s because I have never had winter tires so they felt like a nice improvement over the regular ones, but I had them for maybe 5 winters and never had any issues at all.

I run Nokian WRG3s on a Civic. I found they were great, particularly in the shoulder seasons -- it means I don't switch to my winters until it's actually fully winter. Great for those times (like this october) where the weather is all over the place.

Running Nokian Hakka R2 on the CX-5 and Vredestein Wintrac on the Focus same as last year. Usually don't swap until Thanksgiving though. On a related note, I think these are the last dedicated winter tires I'm going to buy. I've been running two sets for 10 years now and even in the snowier years, I don't feel like it's been worth it in this part of Ohio. The new All Weather tires seem like they've done a good job with snow/ice, yet still keeping dry/wet traction to decent levels. I've got my eye on the Michelin CrossClimates going forward.

The stock Pirelli Cinturato P7s were quite worn at 29K miles...the poorest wearing tire Ive ever experienced in nearly 4 million miles of driving. What I liked about the Pirellis: Very good steering feel Very good dry grip Quite comfortable What I did not like about the Pirellis: Very poor wet grip 29K miles is a bit dismal
