Tires Toyo or Nokia

The wr g3 has great grip in the snow and ice

The R2's are really good because they stay quieter than some of the other Nokians.

Go for a Nokian Hakka R2. Any other winter tire just isn\u2019t a Nokian...

I like Kal-Tire because they offer Nokian tires. I switched about four years ago and will not use anything else in the winter or for my all seasons.

I run the 205/55 snow on them from Nokian.

Have Haka R2's on my TDI and they are hands down the best winter tires I've driven, noticeably better than Michelin X-Ice XI3's on my wife's Golf7.

I've been happy with Toyo AT2s

I have the R2 and actually just had to use them while my Prets were in the shop.

As far as driving on dry pavement goes, the R2s are great--very quiet, good economy (I lost maybe 1mpg?). Main drawback is that they are very soft and race mode with R2s feels like comfort mode with stock all-seasons.

Wife now has Hakki 8 that she ran last year. no complaints, very aggressive studs

I have the R2 on my Golf R and I have to say I regret them. I wish I got the WRG3 that are on my wife's car. The R2 is better on unplowed roads, but sucks on a groomed road.
