Best all season tires for winter area's
#11
I have recently bought the Nokian WR SUV 3, 265/50/20 (http://www.nokiantyres.com/winter-ty...auton-renkaat/)
I have done 4.000 Km already with them from the beginning of December, through Germany, Switzerland and Italy, also crossing the Alps. I am very satisfied with them.
Impressive performances with both (heavy) rain and sleet. I will test them on real snow this coming weekend when I will go skying
Formally they are Winter tires, not all seasons. But they have characteristics that make them a good choice as all year tires, for places that do not get too hot in the summer.
They fare pretty well on the economy side and on the comfort side (72 dB), here is the info label they have to provide in Europe to compare this tire to others

Nokian is a Finnish company, I guess they know how to make good tires for mud, snow and ice and if you are moving to Alaska, maybe this is the kind of tire that would better fit the bill for a reasonable price.

My local Dodge dealer in Front Royal priced the Goodyears at $180 each and the Bridgestones at $256 each. I expect to pay that much for a good tire any more...
