with a test aimed at performance tires, why did you test the WR D3, which is aimed at family 'economy' cars, and not the A3, which is the performance oriented tire. I've just finished a 2400 mile trip through the alps on the A3s on my twin turbo legacy, and they were great in the snow, but also perform fantastically well in the wet and dry.
Hi,
Unfortunately it wasn't one of our tests, but it's a question we've wondered too.
Nokian must have had the choice of which tire to supply, perhaps the A3 wasn't in full production when these tests were run...
