because I had Hakka 8s un-studded on my previous GTI and they were great.
The wr g3 has great grip in the snow and ice
The R2's are really good because they stay quieter than some of the other Nokians.
Go for a Nokian Hakka R2. Any other winter tire just isn\u2019t a Nokian...
I like Kal-Tire because they offer Nokian tires. I switched about four years ago and will not use anything else in the winter or for my all seasons.
I run the 205/55 snow on them from Nokian.
Have Haka R2's on my TDI and they are hands down the best winter tires I've driven, noticeably better than Michelin X-Ice XI3's on my wife's Golf7.
I have the R2 and actually just had to use them while my Prets were in the shop.
As far as driving on dry pavement goes, the R2s are great--very quiet, good economy (I lost maybe 1mpg?). Main drawback is that they are very soft and race mode with R2s feels like comfort mode with stock all-seasons.
Wife now has Hakki 8 that she ran last year. no complaints, very aggressive studs
Those tires are Nexen N7000's. A few of my cheap clients ran those and N3000's on their cars, years ago, I'd say late 2000 early 2010's. Cracked sidewalls, deformed tires, bubbles in the sidewall, and ridiculous amounts of road noise after a season of use, poor grip in pretty much anything except hot dry asphalt. I hope you have better luck with them than some of my clients.
