No kidding! I took out our Passport in the rain after putting on new Hakka R3 SUV winter tires. Spun all 4 tires pulling away from the first red light. Learned my lesson and took my wife's LR4 with new Nokian R3's on a long trip on a dry day.
All Weather or Snow Tires ?

You really don't want to run a winter tire much below 6/32 anyhow as the snow traction really falls off. If you can get a Nokian winter for less than the Blizzak then it is a no brainer. Here in Canada the Bridgestones are $300-400 cheaper. Another big snow dump today. I have been driving on white roads for almost a month .

my lr4 with WRs was WAY better than my 2011 RR SC with blizzaks. used the blizzaks and chucked them when i found out the hakkas were available in 20in.
20 years ago i had WRs on a nissan maxima and my friend had a pathfinder (awd) with whatever tires came from the factory. we both stopped parallel on a pretty steep hill. i pulled away with no issues - he spun all 4 wheels. tires matter. i wish nokian wld make the WR in 20 inch for the 2011 RR SC. This season im using hakkas on the LR4 and im sure it will be a beast!

only issue is the lr4 doesn’t recognize the tpms from the 07 hse wheels
Any more feedback on these? Noisy, snow traction?
30 inch OD Toyo Celsius CUV (Cute Utility Vehicle) tyres P235/65R18
One can refer back to post #27 in this thread re my Cute Utility Vehicle tyres but 30,000 km and a year later, I am still impressed, plus no real signs of wear either. Run quiet, take potholes well, and seems to remain between the ditches.
With the pox on, it does not even do the grocery getter run much these days.
