Tires BRIDGESTONE or Nokia
Just got my Nokian Hakkapeliitta R's installed. Bring it on!
the blizzak, i love mine.
Three Bridgestone Potenza RE750 tires, size 205/40/17 W80 About 1000 mi on them and a very sticky performance tire.
From what I can tell (never owing a set) the Nokians are the best.
I'm at over 50,000 miles on my WR SUVs and still have a lot of treadlife left.
I had the WRs for 50 K until I got too many flats on them that they could not be repaired anymore. Anyway they were great for 50K and awesome in the snow.
The H rated 18" bridgestone dueler H/Ls seem to perform about 90% as well as the V rated OEM Contis that I replaced them with. IMO I gave up 10% of the sticky feel of the Contis for the awesome tread wear of the bridgestones...
I had the same problem with my Bridgestone Potenza RE050's. I contacted Bridgestone directly and they told me that they would warrranty my tires at a pro-rated cost. My tires had 20K on them and they met me halfway. I ended up with a brand new set of Bridgestone Potenza RE960A/S Pole Position's with UNI-T for $400 installed (Usually $800). I've had the tires for about 6 months and they are pretty quiet compared to the RE050's.
The WR G2's look like really nice tires. I've driven two winters and 6 days worth of Audi Club Winter driving school on my older generation WR's and I've only burned off 2mm of tread.
Our egg came with Wranglers. They were so noisy and rode so harshly that I replaced them with Bridgestone Dueler Alenzas at 800 miles. Love the new Bridgestones!
