I just came across this post after ordering a set of Nokian WR G4’s. This will make my fourth set over the years for different cars, and absolutely love them. Great grip in snow, ice, slush, etc.
I put them on my Clarity and they're every bit as good as the Michelins they replace at half the per mile cost. They even are a bit more efficient.
I have Hakka R5's on my S5 and doubt I'll be going back to anything else. They've handled winter here in Alberta very well so far.
I can also vouch for Toyo Observes, used those before switching and I had no complaints.
Studless are what's up. Nokian studless hakkapalitas are the best snow tires I've ever owned.
I have Blizzaks ws80s on my Focus ST, and hakkas on my wife's Edge. When the Blizzaks are done, Hakkas are going on.
My previous car was a Legacy wagon on studless Hakkas . Driving in crappy Alberta winters was a complete non-event.
I run Nokian winter tires on my vehicles. They've been nothing short of spectacular through more than a decade of driving the Northern Rockies in winter. This is excellent news!
I like studded snow tires and have had some nokian tires for a while and like them alot, enough to get a set on our subaru as well.
I have Nokian WRG4 on my Chevy Cruze , and just bought some Michelin Crossclimate 2 for my other Cruze. I'll know in a couple months how well I like them both. I love the WRG4 so far but have only a tiny amount of experience with them in the snow.
I was upset I couldn't buy a new set of Nokians for the Grand Marquis. Been using them for the last 12 years. I had to settle for some BFGoodrich instead. Sucks.
I immediately took them off my STI and swapped to pilot sports. Sold the tires for 150$ to some kid in college. Put 75 miles on them I think. Horrible tire, horrible handling, horrible tread wear. HORRIBLE
