    Nokian WRG3, Continental Extreme Contact tires

    One liner on Nokian WRG3 This is my second winter on WRG3 . While a lot better than all seasons in slush and snow they do slip, if your are not careful - Unlike Nokian Hakkas. If you drive in dry and frigid conditions , they are awesome. Very low rolling resistance ( just as describe by Nokian...

    AWD/DSC and oversteer question

    CX-5 tail fishing at low end turns sucks . Period . That is even with most exotic of the snow tires. Totally scary. On a straight line , even on the icy , real slick road it's a champ. Totally predictable and confident

    CX-5 AWD snow performance

    My take is that CX- is great in slick icy roads , on highways - Traveling in straight line. In slush and in quick ( 15 miles/hr) turns it still fish tails with my nokians . Could not figure out why . Probably it's too light.!

    New to forum trying to decide on 2015 CX-5, Forester, or Outback

    I don't think there are many cars that can touch the performance of Subaru's AWD - Have not tried it in dirt but in SNOW without snow tires .. lot of fish tailing even at 20 mph. All I can say is that CX-5 would need time to catch with SUBARU or Audi's terrain performance. CX-5 computer is...
