Has anyone had good/bad/other experience with Nokian tires??

 

I've been running Hak 5'd for the last few winters and they are awesome. I could climb a tree with those. However, they are a dedicated winter tire and are pretty squishy on pavement and at speed.

What exactally are you asking? Nokian makes a bunch of different tires.

 

I have wr's. They are great in the rain and snow, but I was wondering if there was a better all year tire that was great in the the snow and dry pavement as well.

 

WR G2's are the best for snow and dry pavement. The Hakkapeliitas are their best winter tires. I run Nokian V from March to November, and WR G2's in the winter, since snow only lasts a day or two at the most here. You already have the best all season Nokian makes.

The V's are the best tire I've ever had on my car. Excellent steering response, braking traction, and lateral grip. Plus they are quiet, smooth rolling, and efficient with fuel. I am on my 3rd set. They are always on track to last forever, but I burned up the first set with Autocross and the second set was burned up at the Dragon. This current set has 14,000 miles on it with 1mm gone off the wear indicator.

To get the most out of your car, you really need 2 sets of tires.

 

Hey everyone,

I have the WR-G2's on my 08' Cooper S and i love them. They perform exceptionally well in wet and dry weather, and they are better in the snow than the Blizzaks i used to run (which of course were winter-only tires).
The really nice thing about the G2 is not having to change between summer and winter tires. That really starts getting expensive - not to mention you have 4 tires taking up space in the garage.
They were fairly quiet tires - not nearly as quiet as summer tires but i would definitely sacrifice a bit of noise for excellent winter performance.

Overall an excellent tire - id definitely recommend the WR-G2.
