I've run Toyo RA-1s and thought they did a fine job, although I never did better than 2.1. With more launches under my belt, my Dunlop SP8000s have performed as well.
Nokian Hakapelita q's My vw dealership here in wpg was able to source them for $122 a tyre The fin's have lot's of ice roads. Nokain's are great ice tyres. In wpg there is alot of ice.
205/55R16. outstanding winter performance.
I use Nokian Hakkapeliitta 1's on my Jetta.
some people don't like them but I get good results with my Toyo FZ4 205-50-15.
Just put some nokian hakka q's on the gf's golf.
With regard to tire pressures, btw. I'm running T1-S in a 245/45 16 size on my S6 wagon, with 36 pounds of pressure in each tire. I started out at 34, and picked it up to 36.
We've got a FWD model Passat, and we use Nokian Hakkapeliitas in the winter We went out on closed (snowed out) roads in southern Oregon We were passing snow plows and SUVs left and right Not even a bit of wheelspin, it was just like being on dry ground, only quieter 4motion is probably worth it in the northeast
Just in case any one is looking at four season tires look at the hakka NRW. Very similar to the hakka Q in tread design but a harder rubber.
