Nokian WRG4’s are better than both in the snow.
Owner reviews for tires
225/55/17 are nokian entyre 2.0 which are "grand touring" all seasons i think they are more for cruising and comfort than sport and grip. Sadly they don't make them anymore (thanks Putin's war) and I'm about down to the 2/32 wear bars, I'll have to source another grand touring all season, i got about 40-50K out of them no complaints other than they got a bit loud in the past 10-15k.
Dramatically better traction, specifically when driving through parking lots that were plowed, but now there's 2-4 inches of loose snow you have to go through. Just driving out of the parking lot after installation I had way way better grip.
It's like going from 30% grip to 80% grip.
The improved snow traction is amazing. Living in Minnesota I will never put a tire without the 3Peak Mountain Snowflake Symbol on a car I own again
I daily drive my GTI in the city. Someone on here recommended Continental DWS06 tires as an economical but still good option and let me tell you, they are awesome. I’m loving every second I drive with them in.
Just ordered a set of Road 6’s. Road 5’s had great reviews everywhere I looked, and the 6 is supposed to have some decent improvements (Michelin claims 15% more wet grip and 10% more tread life).
Falken Azenis RT615K+. Especially at the stage 2+ level. They really do suffer on tread life though but performance wise they're great.
I was averaging 17.2 with my previous nitto ridge grapplers.
Running on Yokohama Advan Apex V601, instant favorite of mine now, way better than the PS4's
I’ve had Contis Pro Contacts on 2 cars and I loved them! I did have 2 bubbles through the their wear.
Pirelli: hey, our tyres are about 8 years out of date, we really need to try new stuff
All of F1: Ok, we'll test them for you.
Post-test: WE HATE THESE TYRES, WHY CAN'T WE JUST KEEP THE OLD ONES?
