Tires Falken or Nokia
I have Nokian R3 on the Sportwagen and Michelin X-Ice Snow (OEM) on the V60 here in Canada. Once I need to change, will likely go with Nokian. More quiet, comfortable and better on deeper snow.
I have the r5s on my xc60, best winter tires I’ve ever had.
I have Nokian Snowproof 2s on mine, and they're really good.
I have Nokian Hakkapelitta 9 on my Volvo and they’re great.
I loved my Nokian Winter tires on my old 3000 GT VR4. That thing was unstoppable. They are noisy on dry roads though.
We got a 24' CT Sport. Came with Falken Z1E ZE001A A/S tires. They are great in the summer but didn't like them for the winter. So we got the Falken Wild Peak AT tires. So far they are great.
I have experience with these tires. I have them on my 2017 mercedes c300 currently in nh. we get a lot of snow and ice and snow rain mix, and they work great for that! this is my 2nd winter with them. I will say this. in dry weather, they do give a little glide while driving. as in you notice you have a different traction tire on made for snow. it makes it not as smooth of a drive. especially for my model car. I have used them for 11k miles, and the tread is still 85%. since having these, I haven't got stuck once, and in the worst of the worst, I drove on highway and was able to drive safely in my lane without sliding, doing about 48mph on the highway. we just had 6 storms with over 3 inches each storm, in the last 2 weeks, and I was good to go in all of them. worth every bit of what I paid. they are best suited for heavy snow and ice and help break up the ice underneath you as you drive. if you live where you get a lit of snow ❄️, I would highly recommend them. hope this helps. stay safe.
I've been really happy with the Nokian Encompass AW01s on my Volt though. They are an all weather 3MP rated tire that's been very good to us
The only set of tires I have not had the best experience with are the Nokian Entyre 2.0's on my wife's Acura TLX. I feel like as they've worn, the noise in the cabin has been quite a bit louder and there is quite a bit of cracking in the sidewall/tread area. Otherwise, they have been fantastic in the wet.
I’ve had the Wildpeaks on my lifted Sienna for 15,000km. They are already down to 6/32 hydroplane in rain and spin out on paved sanded road up to the ski hill. There wasn’t even any snow on the road and 4 cars behind me passed when I had to stop in the middle of the road because I could not move forward. I’m not impressed.
