Tires Goodyear or Nokia
Last Fall I asked for winter tire recommendations and ended up buying Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3s for my 2021 KonaEV Preferred - many thanks for the advice - I was **very** happy with them through the winter.
We have Goodyear WeatherReady Assurance tires on our Acura MDX and they are far and away the best all-season tires I've ever had. They go nearly toe-to-toe with summer tires and also perform exceptionally in the wet, on ice, and with snow.
I LOVE my Nokian WRG 4 tires. They are great in the winter (they have the snowflake symbol)and the best part is you can use them in the summer too.
I got 4 new Goodyear assurance on my civic for about 450 on some sale, through goodyear's website. The techs fucked up my tpms, but the tires are noticeably better than the old ones.
Got winters and they make a huge difference.
I wouldn't settle for anything less than studded Nokians if you can afford it. They'll be hard to get this late in the year, but you likely already know that. I live in western NY though, so YMMV.
+1 for hakka's ... they also have a all-weather tire, think snowtires you can drive year round ... I've had blizzaks, xice's, dunlops, sotto's, alpin's etc and sofar the Hakka's have been as good if not the best.
I bought Nokian Hakkapelitta R3s for my MKVI Golf R before last season. These replaced Nokian WRG3s. The R3s were a noticeable step up in grip in snowy conditions last winter on the Matterhorn 225/45/R17
I have them on myh '06 and they're not bad as far as traction goes. The only drawback is, mine are half worn and they have gotten noisier than all hell.
Mine only made it about 20k. They aren't very good off-road tires either.
