I run the Nexen Roadian AT Pro RA8 in North Dakota winters and they haven't failed me yet
Owner reviews for tires
I have the Nokian Tyres WR G4, year round, and they have been great!
The Hankooks are a great tire in an odd position in the marketplace. You could call them a very comfortable performance tire, or a very performant touring tire. Since I live in Texas and do so many highway miles, I love them.
Mėgstu hankook. Geras brandas, gana tyliai ir minkštai važiuojasi, sukibimas geras, realiai vos ne pigiausios iš premium klasės.
I drove my rear wheel drive Ford Ranger for many years but I had a set of Blizzaks
I ran their all-weather Remedy WRG5's last winter on my stock wheels and they were BEASTS. I HIGHLY recommend them if you live somewhere that gets mild/moderate amounts of snow and consistent temps below 40°F. They can be ran year round, but I like more grip during summer
I have non studded Conti Viking and it's perfect. It can also be a handful to drive, It moves under throttle, slides left and right. To me, this is not a drawback, it makes it fun. But, it's 5 in the morning, going to work half asleep, and you have a hard time accelerating at green lights getting passed by Yaris's, it can suck. I have a 15 min commute it's OK, wouldn't spend my day in it. On back roads it's a charm. I would not let my mother drive it in the snow, you have to be on your A game.
Definitely a bit less grip in the dry than the 215 PS4s, but they're actually usable in the cold, solid in the wet, and at least passable in the snow. I'm not sure how much of the change in handling is down to the taller sidewall and narrower tire, and how much is the tire compound itself.
I wanted to write this because there are almost no reviews on this tire online. Firestone claims it's a big improvement over the previous generation. Traction is good on wet and dry roads. Slippage prediction is also decent. Road noise is fine. Ride comfort (in terms of feeling the road) is really good. Steering responsiveness is ABYSMAL. It's like driving an aquarium on top of a trampoline. Due to the fact the sidewall seems to be made of marshmallows, it's quite terrifying doing any aggressive driving. Highway driving, making turns specifically, is terrifying. Overall: Do not buy unless it's for rears only, or you're driving a car that is exceptionally light weight. If the steering and body movement responsiveness was fixed, this would be an excellent tire. Sadly the responsiveness is so bad, the tire feels legitimately dangerous.
They look to be mounted correctly; however, I find cheap chinese tires like those don't perform as well as good quality tires, are more noisy, and wear out faster.
