Tires Firestone or Nokia
I like firestone firehawk indy 500. summer tire. sticky. reminds me of the old yokohama S.Drive. Plenty of grip wet or dry, and in dry it's the only one that's let me put down full power coming out of a corner without going all spastic or lighting the traction control lamp.
We have Blizzaks on one vehicle and Nokian Hakkapolita on the other. Of the two, I prefer the Hakkas but that may be more to that I prefer that vehicle more. Either are very good but don’t forget to drive to the conditions.
Put Firestone Destination AT2s on mine. Great tire and good meaty look. The positive is that fuel economy only went down by 2 to 24.7 from 26.7.
Nokian Hakkapellitas with studs on all 4 of our vehicles. For winters I go premium. Makes a huge difference
I have had the Winterforce ones for a couple years now. They seem to be good tires.
Have a set of Hakka 10 studded on my Ram 1500 rwd work truck and they are PHENOMENAL!
Central Canada here for reference and these tires are amazing on wet/clear roads and great in icy conditions with a couple hundred pound over the rear axle.
Nokian is the original OG in winter tire. In fact, they practically invented winter tires and have been developing winter tires since. It's all I will ever buy for winter tires. Remember that these tires were developed for the harsh Finland winters. It's why I'm currently running some Hakka R3s on my car.
Nokians all the way. IMO they're well worth the money, they're a top tier tire made in Finland.
I have the same Nokians... Let me tell you something, it does have great grip in winter but it's sooo noisy and it's uncomfortable. When I came back to the default Nexen tires it was like I turned the volume nob to zero. Complet silence abd I felt like I was floating.
Nokian Outposts: 2,390 mi. 9.8% worse efficiency. Would not recommend Nokians: Probably great offroad. Nothing short of scary on road. These tires are totally overwhelmed with the weight and power combo of the Rivian quad platform.
