So the wife did end up replacing her beloved Hyundai Accent last year with a newer Hyundai Accent for getting around the urban environment. Frankly we stole it for the price and got a lot more money back for the old car than we ever anticipated. It was doing a great job for what it needed to do...

We are adamant fans of the subcompact world though admittedly most of the country feels otherwise. Hopefully there is still a place for them in the future.

They are awesome. I have WRG3s on my car and put WRG4s on my wife's Hyundai. Comfortable and outstanding in bad weather.

I love my Nokians. Just ordered WRG4s for my wife's car and I have WRG3s on mine. The all-weathers are just fantastic, what all-seasons should be in my opinion. I drive these through New England blizzards without a second thought and never had any issues. Not just snow but good in rain and all...

Nokian makes some of the best tires around, period. Go for it.

At long last the wife replaced her much beloved though dearly departed 2003 Hyundai Accent with a now beloved 2015 Hyundai Accent. Same gray paint more or less and this one is a hatchback. She tried SUVs but was too attached to the Accent seats, ride, and parking simplicity. Who am I to argue...

Sweet, sweet Nokians!

Originally Posted by oil_film_movies That is a very popular segment these days. I have an '18 Equinox, new design starting that year. Love mine! Leasing it, so technically not 'mine' really. Handles great, boxy room inside, stylish (maybe), great MPG at 34 MPG average highway + town driving...

Originally Posted by StevieC The only one on your list I would buy is the Toyota Rav 4. Have you looked at the Hyundai Tuscon? Great warranty and nicely equipped on the cheap. There is one around the corner from my office. Onto the list it goes.

Originally Posted by slacktide_bitog What is your price range? For the snow issue, will you be using separate winter tires? If not, consider all-season tires with the 3-peak sign, such as the Toyo Celsius, Vredestein Qutrac 5, or Nokian WRG4. You don't like the CRV, but did you try the...

I have been slammed as of late and never quite got around to replacing that Hyundai Accent back in spring. However, as the wife has now officially finished her NP program and the car saw her through all of undergrad and graduate school, it's time for the little gray ghost to retire and we're...

Get four new tires and sell the two used ones. Life is too short and best we keep it going for as long as possible!

Stay Nokian. Either the Entyre line is good for more traditional all seasons, but the WRG series is fantastic. Probably a good summer option too (Z line maybe?) if you have the Nokians for the winter already.

The Nokians on my Rio are live driving on a cloud. Key is to keep proper inflation and aligned.

Going to make my plug for Nokian. If you need something for snow and ice but want to leave all year around, the WRG series is fantastic. Wouldn't recommend if driving more than average mileage but they are the best tire I have ever rolled with. Check out the new WRG4. The Entyre by Nokian are...
