Just tried out my new set of Nokian tyres WR G2 Sport Utility 235/65 R17 108V XL BSW in the snow and forget the Conti's, Pirelli, Michelin these are the business, they give you total grip in ice/snow/water. Check out how they test these tyres on their website and you can see why these are so good. You can also run them all year round as well and they are slightly cheaper then some of the premiums mentioned and wear is ok on the tests. Got mine from Mytryes online delivered to local fitter within 3 working days from Germany. Before this only had Conti's fitted which cost more and only last 24k and frankly I got fed up with how useless they are in the winter ice even the cross contact was only marginally better. A tiny bit more road noise is the only compromise but now I have a freelander that can go anywhere in the conditions it was designed and I would say about 60% more grip then before. |

Be slightly wary of that - just because the pattern is the same doesn't mean the construction and performance are similar. Even the same type of tyre from the same manufacturer can vary from year to year as they upgrade the composition of their rubber. So my l;ocal tyre man tells me, anyway. Hanspook can use Michelin moulds and still make a totally different (but not necessarily inferior) tyre. |
