Nokian WRs for my 99 Passat. I'd like owner feedback on the Nokian WRs.
If you have owned a set for a while, at least 10-20K miles, I'd appreciate a Post reply.
1) Are you Happy? How do they compare to the OEMs?
2) How Many Miles are on them?
3) How is the Thread holding up?
OK, I've had mine on for a season.
1) Yes, I am very happy with them. I'm the 2nd owner of the car, so can't compare with OEMs (took Kelly Navigators off and did a Plus One upgrade for winter). For the amazing traction in the snow, they are surprizingly good on dry pavement. (Hint: Use the sugggested inflation levels for cruising "above 100 mph" from the gas filler door.) That said, Kuhmo MXs are the summer shoes.
2) Got maybe 10K on them.
3) Tread seems to be doing fine.
4) As for noise, I don't find them very different from the Kuhmos. Actually less noisy than the 1/2 worn Potenza 950 rubber on the Audi...
3) Tread is doing fine. Can't go wrong with a 50K warranty.
If you aren't aggressive (or exceptioinally picky), these are the first tire that I would consider using year 'round if you get much snow.
