Studded Nokian Hallapeliittas would've got you up this.
My 2021 GLI drives great with Hakkapelitas
I just installed Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 studded winter tires 275/45R21 on the OEM 21x9" rim just in time for the big storm. We got 16" of snow yesterday. It did great in deep snow and ice, going up hills no problem. This is my first winter with the iX and I was hoping the stock Goodyear Eagle Touring would be sufficient in light snow, but I wouldn't recommend driving it unless the roads are perfectly cleared. It was difficult driving on the Goodyear Eagle Touring tires even with just an inch of snow before the roads were cleared, which is what prompted me to install winter tires mid-winter. If you live in an area that gets snow or ice in the winter, it could be worth getting a winter set. Having two sets of tires will also reduce the mileage on your summer set, allowing them to last longer. I don't think it's possible for the stock tires to last the entire 3 year duration of the lease. Based on current wear and other reviews, I expect the Goodyears to last maybe 15,000 miles.
Running Nokian Hakkapelitta LT3 and MSW Type 52 (Black) on my R1T right now!
I purchased a winter tire and wheel set from Tire Rack tires week and couldn't be happier. Tires: Nokian Hakkapelitta R5 - 275/60-20
I have Nokian Nordman 7 as a dedicated winter tire. Really good. Long wearing. High profile from factory. Good grip. Not too much noise.
I put Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5’s on my wife’s Blazer EV AWD. Even with the AWD, the standard ultra low rolling resistance tires it came with were horrible in the snow and these made a word of difference. I/we are actually confident driving the Blazer in the snow now.
I've been impressed with my Nokian NAT Outposts this year. _Plenty_ of offroad traction, 3 peak rated, and they're lighter than Falkens.
I recently went from FWD Toyota with good tires too AWD Subaru with good tires and there is no comparison. With my FWD in the snow I would regularly lose traction in corners at very low speed, sub 5 mph going around city streets. I could not start driving on a hill if there was snow or ice.
Yes the size choice is criminal and the OEM trailer tires even worse. Come on Toyota.
