In its November 2015 issue, Consumer Reports (CR) did more than reveal the results of its all-season tire testing, which I reported on in my Oct. 1 blog. It also rated 21 winter tires.

There was a tie for No. 1: the Michelin X-Ice Xi3 was listed at the top, but had the same score as the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2.
Sounds like the Nokian is pretty good. My only concern would be the top speed rating of 106mph (R?). I drive mostly highway miles so my preference went to the Michelin X-Ice Xi3.
