Tires Firestone or Nokia
Get the Firestone All Seasons, or Firestone Wearhergrip All Weather tire. Both are excellent for snow, rain - any weather.
Firestone Destination AT2. Central Oregon driving in the deserts, highways, ice & snow while often pulling a travel trailer. “No regerts.”
I’ve owned 5 sets of Nokian tires and never a single issue with dry rot.
I went with Nokian outpost APTs. only had them for a few weeks and they handle just as well as the road tires I had on previously.
I've enjoyed the "garbage" Indy 500s on my Challenger since shortly after I bought it, but they're getting up there in age and will be replaced in the spring. Quite possibly with another set. Had another tire in mind as a potential contender, but now I can't remember which one. That car is used for hauling butt on curvy roads, has never been driven in rain, but on hard packed snow. Then the Firestones are all but useless. And I'm sure that worn ones can be interesting in rain. I have DWS06s on a couple of vehicles and really like them, but if not driving on snow the DW version would be fine for me. They really impressed me on wet pavement, although that was years ago and tire offerings have changed.
The Nokian lasts so Long been using it since 2001 in Minnesota and now it's 2024. Rubber and studs like new. Best money I ever spent.
I used to like Blizzaks, then I tried the Nokian Hakkapeliittas and found they worked better for me in Wisconsin winters.
17 inch borbets and 215/50R17 Firestone Winterforce 2 good solid winter tire had them on my veloster as well.
I've had quiet winter tires, to winter tires that roared (Firestone Winterforce)
I have a vendetta against Firestone since they exploded on my Explorer and nearly wrecked me, only had like 10k miles.
