All Season Tire Recommendation

[Bryan Rodgers]

I own a set of NRWs on my 4000s, and I think they're fantastic
'city-winter-tires-with-occasional-trips-into-deeper-snow', but I can't
really see anyone using these things 'all season'(especially on a GTI). The
sidewalls are super-soft(compared to an all-season, or perf tire)...and I
haven't tried it yet, by I think our summers up here in Toronto might be a
bit much for the rubber compound(it get's HOT!)

IMHO.

Then I'd say without a doubt, Nokian NRW-H.  While often mentioned
in the same breath as "high-performance" snow tires such as Dunlop
M2 and Pirelli 210/240, these are actually all-season tires that happen
to have serious snow handling capability.  If you're really looking
for a compromise to span that wide a gap (and I don't believe in
them, either), I'd say it's your best bet.  Check out
