Get your head out of the gutter, not about protection for nocturnal activities...... Talking about car shoes...
I had to replace my tires since my OE Contis were running about 3.5mm in the front. The rear was about 5.5 or so... Thinking about selling them since one of the rears was replaced about a month ago due to a sidewall puncture and the other still had really good tread left...both could be used as a spare on a fifth wheel or something...
In any case I was quite excited today as I went to America's Tires with about 21,000 miles and got the Nokian WRG4 installed today. And of course it started raining a little bit here in San Francisco as well. My intial thoughts are:
1) Very quiet. I think comparable to the OE Contis.
2) Very stout but also absorbs bumps pretty well. For those that are familiar with Cali roads you know what I'm talking about.... we pay all these taxes but we have no idea where the money goes...
3) Very grippy in wet. Haven't had a chance in dry yet!
4) Love the aggressive tread!
5) No experience in the snow yet but definitely has the SNOWFLAKE on it. Probably might get a chance next week as I'm heading up to Truckee again.. our driveway usually has a bit of snow on it up there...
So that is it for the first day. Tomorrow will get a chance to take it longer during my commute to work and back and we'll see. So far I love it as I was considering the Scorpion AS before. Here are some images but not so great since it is late and dark.
Oh BTW.... you may notice the lug covers are all off... I was irritated so went ahead and popped them off and reinserted them afterwards....
