Nokian WR G3 for upcoming winter... Posted by TonyJ [Email] (#407) [Profile/Gallery] (more from TonyJ) on Mon, 12 Aug 2013 17:29:06 In Reply to: Nokian WR G3?, TonyJ [Profile/Gallery] , Thu, 1 Aug 2013 10:41:35 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
On our recent Mass tax-free weekend, I bought a set of Nokian WR G3 Asymmetrical 225/45-17 94V for our 2004 aero wagon, to be installed around December. We have had good luck with G2, except that they gradually lose winter capability and reach the first set of wear bars by about 30K miles. They also get noisier, but remain OK even in the wet. The G3 seem to have minor refinements, including a treadwear rating of 500 (vs. 400 for the G2). The directional version is only available in smaller sizes. There doesn't seem to be any lower-cost H rated option as with G2, except in the run-flat version, which is quite a bit more expensive.
