Was testing my new GoPro and also having some fun on the first snow - I am much more comfortable now, but took me time to edit this video 
Some snow driving video
- Thread starter Jaco2k

Oddly enough, it is very rare to have the ideal conditions - but when you do see them, it is mesmerizing.
nice vid
in the UK that same scene would have been a traffic jam of cars on summers tyres, with the drivers stuck, sitting stationary on their phones tweeting that its a disgrace that the council have not gritted the road.

Some Continental studless Snow tires - Nordic snow tires.
They came with the car, so I am not sure what they are - I will check when I am near car.

Too much straight-line driving with the 4drive on the snow
Hang in there a month or so - got an ice track event coming and for sure there will be better footage from it

Lucky you, if you have the winter conditions good enough there to get the ice track. We have to hope here every year for the snow to come, it was for a week or so and now its melted again. But in that time, it was bloooody good fun with the 4drive.
Hop on a ferry and come join the event
9-10-11.2, but most of driving is on 10.2.You would have roughly 4h30 drive from HKI, there is an hotel package and also food.
Mine already came with non-studded, but to be honest, you won't much miss them with the 4drive and it largely compensates on days where there is not so much ice

Have a Passat Alltrack -17 atm and running Hakka 8s. That grip, specially during braking is nothing im willing to trade for sound comfort
I used to prefer studded, but the last 3 cars I bought all came with studeles.
Since tires are not exactly cheap, I got used to driving the studless to the ground.
...they grew on me.
When this set on the Cupra goes, it will be replaced with a similar one.
Also, there are practically no options in studded tires (or studded, for that matter...) in 235/35/19 sizes.
BTW, Nokians have gone downhill a lot - not even in Finnish magazines they are winning tests anymore.
The go-to winter tire of the moment is Continental.
Some years ago it was Michelin.

Otherwise, how is the car during winter?
So far, 100% reliable and flawless. A joy to drive up North.
LEDs could be better, though, since they don't warm the ice so much and lenses tend to accumulate ice.
Sounds great
I was suprised about how good the comfort is in comfort mode. Yeah, have the same problem on my Passat with LEDs, get covered with ice and snow asapSimilar threads
