Subaru: Nokian Q vs 1 winter tire on forester

>Nokian Q vs 1 winter tire on forester 

Tirerack.com sells no 15" rims for the XS - I'd think they won't fit (maybe
because of a brake clearance difficulty?).
Terry - '03 Silver Legacy SE sedan - 36 miles!
'02 Regatta-Red GT wagon 5spd - 23k miles
Yakima / TandeMover / Rockymount rack
To reply, get rid of the "nonsense"

I've used the Q and thought it was great in the snow and ice. It's dry
road handling wasn't as good as the Michelin Arctin Alpin but it was
better in the messy stuff. I don't have any experience with the 1's.

I just got a set of 1's for a legacy. The dealer said the 1's were supposed
to be a bit quieter than the old nokia's. Still hear the familiar snow tire
drone though -can't tell if they are any quieter as its been too long since
I was on older nokia snows. Was told Q is better for ice, 1's for snow and
slush.

Used to have 9's and 10's on a civic and was very happy with them -I'd
sometimes be plowing snow over the hood and up the windshield! i figured
since the 1's were supposed to be an improvement on the 10's I'd stick with
them.

Same here, I used to have 10 and 1 on my Civic's and I used to have
fun at a red lite when I saw à 4x4 with all-season tire and move in
front of him :-))

I know what the 1 can do for me but was wondering if the Q would be as
good/better.

Thanks for your info.

Salut,

Moi j'ai des Q sur mon Impreza 2.5TS pis c'est écoeurant. Je n'ai jamais
essayé les 1 mais je suis très satisfait de ceux que j'ai.
Je sais pas où t'habites mais si tu es dan la région de Montréal, appelle au
Centre du pneu Reid à Mercier, j'pense que t'auras pas mal le meileur prix.

If you end up getting the Q post back how you find them. By the way if you
are in Quebec you could also get the 1's with studs.

Just so you know my subaru dealer also matched prices on the tires for
me -saved me going elsewhere. They provided the rims, so if I have any hub
/ rotor issues due to fit I'm only dealing with the one shop. Watch out for
aftermarket rims as some do not fit the hub properly.
