Tires OEM Audi or Nokia
I have nokian on the car and its been fantastic, been using nokians for ages for winter tires.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta is your best answer. These tires run toe to toe with everything else available on snow and ice acceleration and handling and beat everything else on stopping ability on snow and ice.
I have a set on my S4 and they're the best winter tire I've owned after having had xIces, SottoZeros and studded WeatherMasters
I run them on both the wife’s Q5 and my WRX. I’ve run Blizzaks and Toyo winter tires and the Nokian tires are head and shoulders better than those
the Nokian R5 is incredible. I used to live next to a ski resort, and the tire killed it in cold weather, ice, deep snow, the works
The OEM Michelins on my ‘23 lasted just under 30k miles - replaced with 255/70R18 Nokian Outpost nAT (32.1 in). Relatively obscure tire so I’m curious to see how they are. I’m hoping given Nokian’s rep for winter tires that these perform well in the snow this ski season.
I can say with all honesty that Nokian ( Hakka-something or other in Finnish ) is a stand out winter tire.
I've had Nokians since 2019 on all of my subarus.
Low rolling resistance and greatest snow tire I've ever owned.
I've used Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzak's but the Nokians are better.
I bought these tires in October 2022. Not impressed. High pitched loud whine on the highway. Big flakes of the tire coming off on 2. Contacted the place I bought them from and they said it was due to rough road. I’ve always had a gravel driveway and never had this happen before 0/10 on durability and pleasantness of ride. 30000 miles and down to 30% tread already. I wouldn’t buy them again.
Typical Nokian lol. They are garbage and most of them end up like this. The small cracks aren't too bad but the big one that goes around the side is concerning
