Tires Nexen or Nokia
Get some studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires on all four wheels.
we have the Nexen Roadian ATX and the older AT Pro RA8, and both of those are excellent all-weather tires and handle rain and snow with no issues.
I just got a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta and they are the single best tires I've ever had. They are biased towards water. I've been going through all of the heavy rain puddles thinking I would hydroplane and just nothing happens. I cruise through like I have suction cups as tires.
Excellent all weather tires... A generation newer than the CC2... More balanced overall, so although not quite as good in the snow, the suffer less from road noise and loss of fuel economy.
I had a set of Nexen on a 2011 Honda Civic I had many, many, years ago. They were cheap, but still very good tires.
Nokian makes some dirt nasty snow tires. Out of all I’ve ever used- they’re the best.
Now I have Nokian WRG5's on my Jetta GLI 2025 which is FWD only and they feel amazing. Much lower road noise than CC2's and MPG did not take a hit, with CC2's I lost about 3 MPGs. Nokian feels solid in every weather you can put it through including Ontario winters given black ice doesn't catch you by surprise.
SU1 is not the top of the tires for performance cars... they get hard and noisy with time.
i purchased 4 nokia tires in july of 2024. by june of 2025 the tires are completely bald. i bought a good tire rated to 80,000 miles and have them rotated and balanced every other oil change. in my entire life i never seen a tire wear down so fast.
Our 3 year old WRG4 were done due to dry rot as well. Nokian have good winter rubber, but I stay away from their all seasons & all weathers.
