Pretty sure that Kal Tire is the only place that carries Nokians. They’re worth it.
Pros: worth it

I’ve had DWS06+ tires on mine for over three years now and haven’t wished for either summers or winters. I live in NC where we see the whole range of weather, minus heavy snowfall. When it’s hot out, the grip exceeds my skill level so I haven’t had an issue with traction. When it’s cold out, I don’t drive like a moron so I haven’t had an issue with traction.
Pros: good grip, no issues
Vehicle:
Toyota
Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 are the answer. I've been running them 10 years in the Oregon and have driven them in 20 degree conditions with no snow. No issues as long as you're not trying to treat it as a canyon run.
They handle great in the rain and even better in the sun.
Pros: handle great in rain
We've used Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for nearly 20 years.
Best. Tires. Ever.
Pros: best tires ever
I'm running the Pirelli AS+3 at 225 40 r18. A noticeably quieter tire coming from the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4. Feeling wise they're definitely all season tires, in that they feel less precise (don't feel initial turn in as much as with the summer tires). However, for daily traction and occasional goofing off they're good.
Pros: quieter tire, good traction
Cons: less precise feeling
Vehicle:
Toyota
It has nankang cr-s 255s on the rear and it wheel spins solidly on all gear shifts to 180km/h. It will need drag radials.
Pros: solid wheel spin
Cons: needs drag radials
I swapped the oem geolanders for Michelin cross climate 2’s since I don’t do much real offroading just hunting trails and mountain roads. They actually handle the wet leaf covered steep mountain side roads in pigeon forge better.
Pros: better wet leaf handling
Cons: OEM slippage
I absolutely loved my wildpeaks, yea, the ride is slightly harsher, but I do a fair amount of offroad driving and snow driving, so I'm ok with that. That being said I found 2 issues, 1, they got loud as hell about halfway through their lifecycle, like, to the point id reconsider buying again, 2. They stated cracking and chipping really bad at about 6 years.
Pros: good for offroad, snow
Cons: got loud, cracking and chipping
Had the same tires and the same thing happened. Most expensive tires I'd ever bought and they let me down. I use Bridgestone now for price and quality balance
Pros: price and quality balance
Cons: let me down
I used to work for Benz as a tech. Nothing but problems with Pirelli. They has become a shell of what they used to be. Total garbage but still a high price tag. I’m a Michelin fan if you can stomach the cost. Continental or Bridgestone as alternatives.
Pros: Michelin fan
Cons: total garbage, high price
