Tires OEM BMW or Nokia
Now I have Nokian WRG5's on my Jetta GLI 2025 which is FWD only and they feel amazing. Much lower road noise than CC2's and MPG did not take a hit, with CC2's I lost about 3 MPGs. Nokian feels solid in every weather you can put it through including Ontario winters given black ice doesn't catch you by surprise.
I’ve had Nokian winter tires on AWD and front wheel drive and it was the most confident I’ve ever been! Couldn’t make myself slide!
Echoing Nokian for winter tires. Tier 1 in that regard along with Bridgestone.
My Challenger is an absolute beast with Nokian Hakkapeliittas, (rwd,v8, manual).
i just went from 235/55 Wildpeaks (my 3-season tires) on the stock 17x8-inch rims to 215/60 Nokian R5's on 17x6.5 rims for winter on a lifted VB. My weight per corner went from 54/lbs to 41lbs.
I just tried it and the steering feels lighter; it tracks better on the highway; and it's quieter.
I have Nokian WRG4's on my 2015 Honda Accord and it feels glued to the road. I have been using it as my ski vehicle the last couple years and it has performed great with those tires.
Nokian , which is a company from Finland, makes excellent "all weather" tires if you live in areas that get snow. Basically a tire that is good in the snow like a snow tire but is made to be left on all year. Yokohama is a Japanese company that makes excellent tires at a low to mid price point. My wife's van needed tires badly and our budget was tight at the time, so I ordered some $77 each "Crossmax" tires from Walmart and I've been pleasantly surprised. They've been on the van 2 years and no complaints.
I have been using Nokians for many years. They offer excellent traction in snow and are long—Lasting.
I have Nokian Hakkapellita R5s on my winter-driven sports car and they are way too squishy and comfort-focussed.
Just found out my tires will not pass PA inspection due to chunking and cracking. I only had these tires for 3 years/10k miles.
