What were your problems with WRG3 SUV?

KrzyÅ›

Bad traction in the rain. Very poor hydroplane resistance. Took 2 times to balance and still weren't good. Loud as an 18 wheeler. Worn to below 4/32 in under 20k miles. Was told Nokian did not honor warranty/tread guarantee unless you order through certain vendors (not Amazon) when I called Nokian.

Basically just a [censored] tire from a [censored] company.



Winter tyres made for real winters. Work better on snow/ice than in rain.

Really? Because that's not how Nokian markets them.



huh? not sure if we talk about same Nokian tyres

Brand and model?

Pretty much ANYTHING top tier and no, Nokian does not belong in top tier group.
When tire needs enough lead to balance 10 other tires, it is enough to tell me about quality.

Yes according to you. Havent have those issues and many others. Winter tires works best below -0C and works poorly in rain vs a southern european "winter tire".

What winter tire do you use or call top tier? Anyway the winter tire gonna be off balance as soon you got snow in the wheels...

What do you think how old am I? 8?
And what anything you said in your post has to do with balancing tire?

As for top tier:
Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Good Year (European models), Pirelli
