I got the Nokian wrg4 for my wife's 2001 Lexus rx300 and have been very impressed. Still less than 1000 miles on them though so can't speak for the longevity.
I have the Nokian WR-G4, which are in a class of tires called 'all-weather' tires. This class of tire is relatively new is much more winter biased than traditional all-season tires. It does very well with moderate amounts of snow and extremely cold temperatures, whereas most typical all-season tires are 'marginally sufficient' at best.
After driving in dedicated winters (blizzak and c-ice) for 10+ years my last two sets of tires have been Nordman WR and Nokias WR G4, both perform equally to the dedicated winters in my driving in Alberta winters with lots of mountain driving.
Had the WR G4 SUV on my Ford Edge, much better then the stock Michelin Latitude tires, especially in winter.
We just wrapped up our tire test showdown as we put six leading touring tires to the ultimate performance test across all conditions.
Wondering how tires like Giti Control P10, Michelin Primacy 4 ST, and others performed on a BMW F30.
So far they're awesome. They feel kinda chunky in a good way, but smooth, and they are absolutely glued down on the steep icy driveway.
All 3 are good but get the Hakkas. They're very good at cornering on winding mountain roads, excellent control and they handle the spring warm/snow cycle well.
I use Nokian G4's in Colorado.
As for the WRG2's - had them for less than two years. Rotated every 6500 miles. Very noisy starting at 18,000 miles and down to the bottom wear bars after 23,000 miles. There was no way they were going to make it through another winter. No treadwear warranty from Nokian. The Entyres are quiet and the ride & handling are very good. I only wish they had just a tad more grip in the Chicago snow, but overall I'm very happy with them.
I had G-2, G-3 and now G-4. but experiencing dry rot on the G-4's and can't keep them balanced--shimmy at certain speeds even when balanced, and they are getting noisier and noisier--thought I had a wheel hub issue.
