I picked up a set of aftermarket rims and snow tires from Tire Rack and have been loving them for mountain trips and Local winter road travel.
Pros: loving them, winter road travel
I chose the WRG5 for my mom due to superior winter performance vs the CC2 and everything I have heard is that the CC2 is one of the louder tires-
Pros: superior winter performance
Cons: louder tires
I got 65k from my WRG4’s and 60k from my WRG3’s. Coincidentally I only got 50k from my CC2’s not because I ran out of tread, but because they were **so damn loud** I ditched them early.
Pros: high mileage
Cons: damn loud
Mileage: 65000 km
Nokian WRG3s were the loudest tire I've owned by far when worn, even louder than the cheap studded winters that replaced them. Also had tons of dryrot at 4 yrs old.
Pros: loudest tire owned
Cons: tons of dryrot
For a Helsinki \u2192 Ruka trip in January, go straight for top-tier Nordic studless winters Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 or Michelin X-Ice Snow. Both are built exactly for the kind of icy, packed-snow highways you\u2019ll hit up north, and they handle EV weight really well. The R5 has slightly better ice grip, the X-Ice is a bit quieter and longer lasting.
Pros: handle EV weight well
I have tried falken wildpeak and Cooper discoverer all terrain tires which are both winter rated and neither were remotely as good as mt Hakepalita 10 studded tires.
Pros: better than other tires
Cons: not remotely as good
I have the Nokian Encompass AW02 a very similar style tire but cheaper. Been happy with them so far. Was recommended at discount tire for my Subaru Forester. If you want another option...
Pros: happy with them
Cons: cheaper option
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Personally, I have the Nokian WRG5 on my work van, and they have been... I don't know... OK I guess... I work in rural North Dakota, mostly highway driving but some gravel and I think they are pretty sloppy feeling on gravel at any decent speed...
Pros: OK on highway
Cons: sloppy feeling on gravel
FWD 98 ford taurus wagon on nokian Hakkapellitta R5's, I havent broke traction once this winter yet

Vehicle:
