The grippiest tires I have ever used were Nokian WetProof tires. Some real beasts. Highly recommended.
I had 2 sets of Nokian WRG4 SUVs and 1 set of Michelin CC2. I now have the WRG5 Remedy because I preferred the winter traction of the Nokians better. Even with 3/32nds left the Nokians still got through the winter while Michelins offered no traction.
I love the Nokian, I just put Encompass Aw02 on my Crosstrek what a difference they ride softer track on rails dead quiet
Highly recommend the AW01. I just put my second set of these AW01s on my Ford Fusion after previously having Toyo celsius all weathers. They ride far better than the Toyos. I got almost 60k miles out of my first set yet only 35k out of the Toyos. Amazing in snow and rain here in northeast.
In winter we run studded Nokians. Just incredible.
I have Nokian R3 on the Sportwagen and Michelin X-Ice Snow (OEM) on the V60 here in Canada. Once I need to change, will likely go with Nokian. More quiet, comfortable and better on deeper snow.
I have the r5s on my xc60, best winter tires I’ve ever had.
I have Nokian Snowproof 2s on mine, and they're really good.
I’ve had WRG4s on my Alltrack for a year and a few months now. Good tires, just too soft for summer highway driving. Very quiet and comfortable ride with great grip on snow. They’re almost as soft as winter tires and as a result wear very quick. I ordered a set of Nokian One a couple days ago. They seem very promising as a premium touring tire with a 720 treadwear rating with projected treadlife of 80k. Figured I can give up some winter traction for a longer tread life and better dry handling.
No experience with the Continentals but I really did not like the Nokians. I bought them because they seemed to be well-reviewed, they were only marginally better than the Nexens in terms of traction yet they were a decent bit louder. Despite having plenty of tread left after 35k miles I replaced them with Michelin Primacy Tour and they’re so much quieter and the traction is much improved. I had a friend who is a frequent passenger in my car comment on how much quieter it was completely unprompted the first time he rode in the car after getting the Michelins. The Nokians were loud from the beginning and traction in wet conditions decreased rapidly as they aged.
