The ice performance of studless snow tires is undeniable. But if you live in an area where winter is mostly rain and powdered snow. Without much icy roads or compacted snow. Nordic winters are not for you. Stick with performance winters or all weathers. The rain performance just isn't there.
Owner reviews for tires
I use those exact tires. Unless you’re doing something crazy, they’re really good. I’ve driven them in horrible winter weather to very rainy summer days on the autobahn. They’re the best I’ve ever had.
Falken Wild Peak AT3s, look good and have been great in wet and snow I've been in so far
I’m running Cooper ST/Maxx and they’re fucking incredible and look aggressive as fuck. Vancouver got shit on with a ton of snow and ice and I felt like the most stable vehicle on the road during the initial snowmageddon. I haven’t lost traction once all week. Strongly recommend.
I have them, studded. They’re a fantastic winter tire. Best winter tire I’ve ever run. I’ve tried blizzaks, Goodyear Nordic ice, Michelin x ice, and some crappy Chinese brands.
This is my first year on them and they perform well on sheer ice, hard packed snow, slush, and everything in between. Highly recommended.
I've had Nokian Hockeypilates before and they are absolutely a competent tire, easily on par with the Blizzaks (if not a little better in some areas).
We have the R5 on the RAV and the 10s on the Camry. Best winter tires we’ve had.
I have Nokian Hakkapelliita R5 snow tires on my 2022 RAV4 SE. I‘m really impressed with their performance so far. We have had a lot of snow and ice and these tires go through everything with confidence. I’ve previously had Michelin x-ice and Blizzaks. The Nokians are in the same league for sure.
Those tires are the lowest budget-high grip tires you can buy. Can't have everything for free, noise is to be expected with that kind of tire peformance
Had the Pirelli P Zero on my 2014 GTI when I originally bought it, and they were probably one of the worst tires I've had the displeasure of experiencing (esp. in the winter).
