I'm considering 4 Nokian WRG3 all weather tires for my quattro because I'll be driving about 50% of the time in snowy Canada and 50% in hot, dry California this winter. They'll be 255/35 R19's. Any thoughts or advice?

 

Bump to an old thread.

Anyone have WRG3 experience now? I just got some nokian hakka r2 and I love them. Thinking about getting WRG3s for all weathers/snow for the SUV and maybe when my stock tires I run in summer are done.

Anyone?

 

I have 255/35 R19 WRG3s on my '15 A4 Quattro and after just 2000 km I really like them. My research before I bought them said things like: they're a compromise, not the best winters or the best summers, and they wear more quickly on dry pavement, but I live in a snowy country and, so far, I'm a fan. My last car was a bimmer 328 x drive with Conti run-flats and the summers were noisy, the winters really noisy and not that great in snow so maybe my opinion is tainted and yours may vary.
