Tires BRIDGESTONE or Nokia
Nokian nAT Outpost tires are fantastic (for an A/T) in the snow. Not the most aggressive off road compound but even though it's not a true winter tire Nokian still knows what they're doing.
In my experience Nokian Hakkapeliitta are good, but not as durable as Continental or Michelin.
We just bought new ones last year and went for Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 (studded) as we live in the coastal area and we get really icy roads throughout the winter.
I just got a pair. They're nice and grippy, which is good when the car has so much torque, and range seems unaffected, even a bit better than my previous Michelin Premiers.
I bought a set of alloys and Bridgestone blizzaks for £250 and drove round my neighbour who was stuck with his Audi A1 Quattro.
Zima Nokian, ljeto Toyo.
Jesu bucne, ali idu tamo gdje ti hoces i staju kad ti hoces. Po 3-4 sezone ih vozim bez ikakvih promjena u ponasanju. Jedino ih je bitno na vrijeme zamjeniti jer se nokian doslovno topi po ljetu.
I’ve got a set of Bridgestone Turanza (215/45/17) what a fabulous tyre. I do 300km a week in all weathers and I’m really impressed with the feel especially in the wet. I’ve done 40,000km so far and they’re wearing really well.
This will be the eighth year on Hakkepelitta's, so yes they are pricey but the quality is amazing. They look brand new because I've only done 35k kms on them!
There was about 3-4 mm of tread left on the tires when I replaced the original Bridgestone S005s (with 7,000 miles including one track day). I had a track day coming up so I wanted fresh tires but might have got a little more life if I really pushed them. I remember reading reviews on Tire Rack's website about people getting similarly short life out of them (maybe the other alternative OEM tires fare better but they're all 240 TW). I replaced the Bridgestones with Michelin PS4S (300 TW), so it will be interesting to see how they do. To be honest, on previous cars, I've never got more than about 25,000 miles our of HP or UHP all-season tires with 500-600 TW ratings so the 7,000 - 8,000 miles for these didn't surprise me.
My bridgestons kept making bubbles so i replaced them all, i have no problems after that, i even got continentals on my GLC300 now
