For a guy who lives in Finnish coast. We used Nokian since it is local, but other brands and models that I often see are Michelin X Ice and Michelin studded tyre variant, Continental Viking Contact or its studded variant, lastly Goodyear Ultragrip Ice or its studded variant.
I've run the Bridgestone weather peaks on my FWD accord in 2 winters, they worked great. Did some insanely sketchy stuff and never felt like I was out of control.
My work van has the Nokian Remedy WR G5 after coming off of Toyo Celsius (yeah, never going down the Toyo road again with a passenger all-weather tire, at least in the foreseeable future), so far they have been solid and performed well this fall, much quieter and more stable than the Toyos...
Im a high mileage driver 80k per year for work driving across Canadian Prairies and into Rocky mountains and I take the Nokian R5 every winter. You get -40 black ice roads with high cross winds in a tall minivan and never hit the ditch or gotten into accident with them. Handles deep snow with 0 issues too.
I have gone from the Bridgestone Turansa All Season 6 and they have been great so far and a bit cheaper than the Michelins.
i run 195/60R16 Nokian Haakepelittas for winter and brother let me tell YOU, i'm very cautious about when i get into VTEC while driving on dry asphalt with them.
One recent set of tires (Bridgestone Potenza Sports - AMAZING!) less than a year ago, new brakes all around approximately 6 months ago.
I had both the Turanza EL440 and those exact Firehawk tires. The Turanza I had would have lasted maybe 55k or 60k if it wasn't for me getting one damaged from a road hazard.
NOKIA MADE TIRES?!?
I went from stock 19-20mpg highway, 16-17mpg around town to a 3.5"lift and 295/70r18 Bridgestone Revo AT3s and now I average about 12mpg city and 15-16mpg highway.
