Tires Uniroyal or Nokia
I’ve had 22” Nokians on my R1S for 8,000 miles, and noticed no difference in efficiency. I *have* noticed (as have others) that they have significantly more tread than the stock Pirellis at this same point. Given their cost, any increase in “fuel” costs due to worse efficiency (if that is a thing) will probably be more than made up for by the lower cost of the tires, and the (likely) longer useable life.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5. I have them on my Mk7.5 and love them. They are T rated, but very quiet. I do mostly highway driving.
Nokian seasonproof 2 are way to go, nokian is quieter and pattern on them are unique they have central canals for aqualpaning like summer tyres and the treads like winter tyres. I've never seen this before on any allseason tyre brend.
I live in a ski town BC, that averages >30 FEET of snowfall annually. Often roads have caked snow, sluff, sleet & ice. Between dodging tourists, wildlife and staying firmy lodged, I don't dick around. I get the best. Studded Hakka's 10, that just replaced a set that I had about 30-35,000km on.
I just put on a set of Hakka R5s for the winter and the difference in road noise was startling - like driving a whole new vehicle.
I haven\u2019t had to get tires for mine yet but at the dealership where I work I install a ton of the Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires on these cars it\u2019s our number one seller and everyone tells me they are quiet and ride like pillows.
I only buy Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for snow, currently have the R5 SUV on my Pathfinder and R5 on my Legacy.
NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA Tires are amazing.
I’m in the hilly part of southwest Wisconsin and have a 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring with Nokian WRG4 SUV tires.
I had the same issue, replaced them as soon as I could. They seem to be famous for the edge line which is same like yours.
