Just changed to winter wheels on my FL1 TD4 Sport and started thinking about getting new tyres for those 18" Sport rims. Anybody tried Falken Wildpeak AT AT3WA? Reason behind choosing those is that they are winter rated and living here in Nordics we have true winters and especially long spring & autumn seasons when studded winter tyres are overkill but temperatures can be cold for summer tyres.

I'm planning to buy 235/55R18 size instead of 50 profile oem. Thanks @Nodge68 for a tip!

Hi, I see no problem putting 18 inch tires in summer, but in winter will not be able to put snow chains … on 18 inch tire.
Also small tires give you better handling on snow.

For real winter conditions I'm using 16" wheels with studded Nordic winter tyres, so that's covered.
