Used them last winter, 18" on my CC, lots of snow and ice last winter. I live in the hills of S NH, lots of hilly back roads not a single problem, the CC performed as well as my 4x4 SUV on the roads. Best snow tire I have ever owned
A very competent "All Weather" tire would be Nokian WR G3. It probably won't have the traction as a dedicated winter tire, but will be better than an all-season tire. as it still has the Mountain-Snowflake logo indicated severe service.
I second the praise for Nokkian. Best winter tires I ever had. I hope they'll perform well on the GSW...but in no rush to find out :laugh:
Coming from Blizzaks, the R2s are a night/day difference, it almost feels like you have all-wheel drive. I never had an issue with Chicagoland winter driving over the past few years.
I have used Nokian "Hakkapelitta R" and then "Hakkapelitta 8 Studded" on my Jetta MK6. Really happy with either
I had Yoko yk580's on these wheels and when I changed to goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric all seasons (pretty light tires) that made a huge difference!!!
I fitted Nokian Hakkapeliitta on it last winter and was very pleased with them.
I am running Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2 on 2011 CC
I have Nokian WRG3 18's on my S3. They are traction rated so I can use them up in the mountains without chains but are also rated for \"year round\" use (with a mileage rating!) so they don't wear as quickly in typical Portland, OR winter weather (wet and just above freezing). So I use those Nov-April and my 19's the rest of the year. I'm pretty happy with the overall feel and noise level of the tires.
I have Eagle F1's on my 986 and am totally underwhelmed.
