17” wheels with Nokian Hakkapeliitta r2’s replacing the 16” stock setup. It’s probably uncommon to go up a size when going to winters, but I had bought these while I still had my GTI.
Surprised to find it has a torsion beam suspension. Some research revealed that only the TDI Golfs have it, while all the others are fully independent.
Might explain why it’s more than happy to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

The torsion beam is due space conflicts with the Adblue tank. It's the same with the new Golf wagon, too.

Where did you get the Nokians? I’ve been looking to order them online, but only sketchy websites stock them. Without TireRack I’m lost!

Discount Tire, yo. I got Nokians for my XC90 there...they were a pleasure to deal with and you get free lifetime rotations.
Just checked their website and they stock the OP’s 17” Hakkapeliitta R2 as well.

I didn’t know that Nokian sells tires in US. Are they Finnish made? The tires that they sell here are either Finnish or Russian made.
The company is related to the Nokia that used to make mobiles phones. Of course they have gone separate ways years ago.

I could have sworn I checked their site and they didn’t have it.
My wallet is not going to be happy!

My Golf is currently riding with (quite old and noisy) Vredesteins. Should I get Finnish tires soon?
