Consumer Reports agrees. This is their top-rated winter performance tire.
Those tests always make me laugh, as CR only tests Nokian's "all weather" tire (Nokian's parlance, as the WR series can be driven on year-round). The pure winter tires in the Hakkapeliitta range (studded 7 -- 8 in fall 2014 -- and non-studded R2) would blow the WRG3 away.
