Default Summer to winter tire; creaking and cracking
I had conti summer tires of 245 R19 now I have haka R3 1of 235 R18 for winter. Now I get a lot of cabin rattling and creaking. Is this normal?? My dealer says this is normal due to cold weather. My wife's Q3 has all season no creaks or rattle?

I have mine Nokian Hakkapellita R3
245/40R18 for a month and it’s great. I have fronts on 41psi and rear 38psi. Rides nice. What kind of rims did you get?

The rubber compound will be softer in cold temperatures so you should actually get less creaking and rattles
