Tires Falken or Nokia
I can say with all honesty that Nokian ( Hakka-something or other in Finnish ) is a stand out winter tire.
I've had Nokians since 2019 on all of my subarus.
Low rolling resistance and greatest snow tire I've ever owned.
I've used Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzak's but the Nokians are better.
I just got new tires. Went from MT Geolandars to Wildpeak AT4W.
I miss the more aggressive look of the MT but I’m loving the smoother ride of the AT4Ws.
I got Nokian Tyres, all season last fall. I drove them all last winter, which was quite snowy, 62 km each day during the work week. No issues. One very snowy day the ramp of my building wasn’t plowed or defrosted. Other cars couldn’t get up the ramp. I watched 3-4 cars try and fail and I got there and up I went no issues.
I have Falken Wildpeak AT4W LT285/70R17 on mine and with the rims they weigh about 92lbs each and I’ve had zero problems.
Uzmi Nokian (Hakkapeliitta). Nećeš više u životu pogledati nijednu drugu zimsku gumu.
Studded tires are superior in ice. I have ran Nokian studded and studless and studded are my choice by a large margin. I run them for max performance in the worst of conditions even if that means giving up a little performance in better conditions.
Nokian Hakkepalitta get me everywhere I need to go, even plowing snow 10 inches deep.
I have 275 AT4 on my 22, they look awesome and rub at full loco reverse driver side only after trimming. What I don’t like about them is they wobble at 50-60 until they warm up. I’ve had them balanced 3 times and it just is what it is at this point. I like them a lot otherwise m
Their new US plant seems to have quality control issues. I never had similar issues with my old imported ones, but bought a set a few years ago that came from the new Tennessee plant and they had major dry rot within two years.
