As with all tires, go for quality. Nokkian is the gold standard for studded winter tires.
having come from three sets of PS4’s in a row on a track-prepped IS-F, I’ve loved the stock PZero’s. Great feel, turn in, and they’ve been pretty quiet. Hell, they even got me around Austin in the snow and ice the last 2 days. Very impressed, especially considering it’s a “summer” tire.
Looks like I’ll get about 20k out of them too, not as bad as folks have warned.
That all said, they sure are pricey!!
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.
I've got the pzero race 4s and they're great. From the reviews I read they have great grip but lose a few watts of rolling vs the pure race versions. Still very fast though. Plus they installed super easily. I'd buy them again for sure.
I switched to Pirelli P Zero Race for a rig that\u2019s set up for speed and I am really loving it.
Shitty pirellis, cinturato, and I'm mostly fine.
I did the pirelli EV tires. So expensive, minimal gains over Michelin or others. Don't do it just don't do it. I'm not convinced EV tires aren't just another way to upcharge for tires.
my nokian all seasons which failed on me.
