I have studded nokian snow tires and it will not happen to me.
This is a great ad for Nokian hakkapeliitta r5 . I'm slipping 'n sliding with control on backroads in 8" of snow counter sterring all the way.
Nokian Haks - BEAST of a winter tire. Between the AWD, and these tires, I had ZERO issues driving around Edmonton last week, where it was -20, and the roads were in awful condition.
Everyone I know that has used these tires has absolutely loved them, and I see tons of positive reviews for them online, but despite all that I just can't get over how they look.
Here's the reality, it really really works on the road 6 tires and on the Dunlop Elite 4s. I had all the road versions on my ST1300 and these are the best in the wet so far. The Elite 4s on my wing were phenomenal even on sketchy mountain roads with it pissing rain on us.
I took my stock pirellis off when I put the Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3s on for the winter.
Going for my first rotation today on the Nokian Ones! So far, perfect!
I’ve been driving on both all weather and winter tires in Calgary for 35 years. I cant tell the difference. I’ve done dozens of trips through the mountain passes on both as well…also cant tell the difference. All weathers usually are Nokian WRG (currently I have a set of Michelin Cross-Climates on one vehicle) and winters are Pirelli or Nokian
Another annoyance were the Fast wearing factory Dunlop tires I swapped out at 12k mi on the odo.
I personally experienced a blow out from Dunlop tires in the 90’s. Although they have improved since then i still wouldnt risk it.
