Tires Goodyear or Nokia
225/45R18 Nokians on aluminum Aspen Satin Black rims. Working fine so far, live just Southwest of Toronto though so not too much snow so far.
I'm from Quebec and I have Fast FC04 19x8.5 Bronze wheels with 225/40R19XL NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA R3 .
During the chaos, my set of APTs faced deep puddles, slush, powder snow, deep snow compact snow, and ice, and many hills. Quite the shakedown indeed. But in one word, confidence! I had no problems driving off on a stand-still on either level or uphills, and no problems stopping whatsoever. My car was stable and I was in complete control at all times.
I put some Nokian WR G4s on my wife's 2017 Outback when we had that. It was a beast in the snow and I am a Nokian lifer now.
Earlier this year, I picked up some Goodyear Reliant All Seasons for my MK4 (2002) Jetta GLS and I’ve been VERY pleased with them for daily driver tires. They have an “H” speed rating, stick pretty well in the turns, and Walmart had them for a shockingly low $67 a piece! Best part? Made in USA!!
I’m putting Nokian Entyre 2’s on as soon as I need them. I’ve run them on 3 other vehicles and they are fantastic.
I had WRG4s on a previous vehicle in Ontario. They are great shoulder season tires, and are manageable in the winter.
Nokian hakkapeliitta are also good and reliable.
Had a set on my Volvo. They were good in the winter, but only okay in the summer, and they met an early demise on a gravel road in the Sangres
I work at a dealership and I will say that I will never buy Goodyears, they dry rot faster than any tire I’ve seen
