In New York's harsh winter conditions, the author tested the BMW iX equipped with Nokian Remedy WRG5 all-weather tires, highlighting a notable improvement over the original Goodyear all-seasons. After 14 months with the iX, the experience of driving in snow was enhanced, offering consistent grip and predictable handling. Although the tires introduced some increase in road noise, they maintained driving efficiency. The upgrade transformed the previously cautious driving experience into an enjoyable one, showcasing the advantages of appropriate tire selection for winter driving.
Yes, I can now actually enjoy driving the iX in the snow instead of having to tip-toe my way wherever I'm going.
After numerous runs through the snow and ice, I've been quite impressed with the improvement in low-grip performance.
These all-weather Nokian tires did make for a barely noticeable increase in road noise but, based on my testing, didn't impact efficiency.
Rather, it's the ultimate grip provided by the Goodyear all-seasons that felt underwhelming when snow or slush covered the road.
