Toyo Celsius
Your idea is tempting...
Who here has run an "all-season" or an "all-weather" with the Mountain Snowflake logo, vs. a true winter/snow tire?
What kind of performance differences we talking about?
I have. With the Nokian WR G3 on my old FWD car, as my winter tires.
Compared to True Winter tires, I have run in the past for that car, Not as good in the snow/ice as the Nokian Hakkapeliitta RSI, but better in the cold dry/wet
General Altimax Arctic... I would rate as equal in the snow/ice, but better cold dry/wet
Korean performance winter tires (Hankook Icebear W300 & Nexen Winguard)... better in snow/ice and equal in the cold dry/wet.
The Nokian WR G4 and the G3 actually start out as Central European winter tires ("True Winter tires"), then Nokian gives it a modified compound to work year-round, as the WR G4 started out as the WR A4 in Europe, and the WR G3 was both the WR A3 and WR D3 (depending on size).
The W4 G4 SUV for my car
