I LOVE my Nokian WRG 4 tires. They are great in the winter (they have the snowflake symbol)and the best part is you can use them in the summer too.
I wouldn't settle for anything less than studded Nokians if you can afford it. They'll be hard to get this late in the year, but you likely already know that. I live in western NY though, so YMMV.
+1 for hakka's ... they also have a all-weather tire, think snowtires you can drive year round ... I've had blizzaks, xice's, dunlops, sotto's, alpin's etc and sofar the Hakka's have been as good if not the best.
I bought Nokian Hakkapelitta R3s for my MKVI Golf R before last season. These replaced Nokian WRG3s. The R3s were a noticeable step up in grip in snowy conditions last winter on the Matterhorn 225/45/R17
I’ve put these tires on now two different midsize cars, and have been thrilled.
I have some Nokian A/S on my Audi sedan. They have been great this summer around Denver and in the mountains on spirited drives. Would recommend
225-55-17 Nokian EnTyre 2.0 installed for over a year now, love em.
Maxxis DTH come in 2.3! But I find the 2.1's to be bouncy enough - havent tried 2.3.
I have Nokian SUV3 (I think) all weather tires on my AWD Rogue. They are much, much better than the factory supplied all season tires. I would rate the winter traction at about 90% of a winter ice tire. In the summer they're a little loud but still perform well.
I personally know they are trash. Great advertising, poor engineering. Stay clear of Blizzaks and get Nokian.
