I love driving RWD in winter, especially a good one with a torquey V-8 and a manual transmission like my BMW 550i. It handles so amazingly well in the snow, so effortless. Obviously, high quality winter tires like Nokian Hakkas are an absolute requirement.
I wanted a drifty car to put known amazing snow+ice tires on (Nokian Hakkapeliitta) and wound up with a BMW e36 with the small 6cyl. The tires made it way, way less drifty than I’d hoped- even in 10” of heavy lake effect snow, it just grunted along like it was raining & 50°F. I didn’t even have to wait for the snow plows because *it plowed the snow*.
I am absolutely loving my 2014 WRX hatchback on Continental DWS's tires. My friend who absolutely WHIPS his Porsche Boxster couldn't keep up and told me to "slow dooooown".
Recently bought and installed CONTINENTAL AllSeasonContact 2 XL EVc. They are amazing, quiet and perfect on wet and dry roads. I’m so happy.
I've just got sport contact 7 and they seem to be incredibly good, need some breaking in with a bit of a burnout and stuff but they seem to grip endlessly and stick well, though only in the rear so I can't comment as much on steering
Stickier than the ps5s they replaced
Any wheel that is 18x8.5 +42/+45, and 235/40R18 Michelin X-Ice or Nokian Hakka tires and you'll be golden
Szerintem jó, harmadik szettet veszem belőle éppen. Más méretekben, illetve az elődeit használtam eddig, rendben voltak.
I have landed on Nokian all-weather tires (WRG5 is the current generation). They are a pretty decent compromise for the typical range of conditions we see here. Yes, there are better tires for the harshest of winter conditions, but the Nokian All Weathers are in the sweet spot more days of the winter than any Hakkas or Blizzaks I've ever owned. The only real downside I've noted is relatively short life before they get noisy.
I have 3 sets of continental ride tour.

Brand new Kryptotal FR tire, replacing an Assegai. Was able to easily get the tire onto the rim but unable to get the tire actually seated onto the bead and holding air.
