I had hakkas studded since 2015 and switched to X-ice this year. Phenomenonal tires. I didn't expect it to be better than hakkas in my experience. Huge difference in traction on dry pavements during winter on highways like Henday which I drive everyday, not to mention, the most quiet winter tired I've used. My next winters will be X-ice again for sure.
Owner reviews for tires
I have had mixed experience with Kumho. Had a set of Ecsta PA51 that were great. No issues and lasted a long time.
My Blizzaks on my STi today were awesome. I love these driving days to put them to good use!
I have Kumho Roadventure tires on my Tacoma, I like them.
We got the Nokian hakka studded ones put in this year and it is AMAZING how much better they are than our old Firestone winter tires.
Tried xice and blizzak ws90 both brand new. I preferred blizzak it made me more confident to drive in snow than xice my car is fwd.
The weatherpeak is a good tire but I find it struggles a bit in the dry/wet compared to other tires in the segment as a trade off for being really good in snow as an all season.
I got the defenders for the 21" wheels 4k miles ago. I am currently at 2.31 mi/kWh and climbing. Pretty similar to the original Pirelli tires.
MRF is worst had same issue. They have lot's and lots of criteria my tyre had tread but still got rejected saying tyre had puncture. So can't replace it.
I have 2 years of experience with Continental all seasons in Poland, and difference is insane. The car drives like shit tbh both in winter, and in summer comparing to winter/summer tires.
