Tires Goodyear or Nokia
Pretty sure that Kal Tire is the only place that carries Nokians. They’re worth it.
We've used Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for nearly 20 years.
Best. Tires. Ever.
I’ve had 22” Nokians on my R1S for 8,000 miles, and noticed no difference in efficiency. I *have* noticed (as have others) that they have significantly more tread than the stock Pirellis at this same point. Given their cost, any increase in “fuel” costs due to worse efficiency (if that is a thing) will probably be more than made up for by the lower cost of the tires, and the (likely) longer useable life.
So glad I made the move. The scorpions were awful and loud. Very happy with our GYs and they still look more like an AT but we have definitely had an efficiency increase
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5. I have them on my Mk7.5 and love them. They are T rated, but very quiet. I do mostly highway driving.
Nokian seasonproof 2 are way to go, nokian is quieter and pattern on them are unique they have central canals for aqualpaning like summer tyres and the treads like winter tyres. I've never seen this before on any allseason tyre brend.
I live in a ski town BC, that averages >30 FEET of snowfall annually. Often roads have caked snow, sluff, sleet & ice. Between dodging tourists, wildlife and staying firmy lodged, I don't dick around. I get the best. Studded Hakka's 10, that just replaced a set that I had about 30-35,000km on.
Stay with the tiger paws. They aren’t as good as the original Goodyear WeatherReady but have high tread.
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.
The problem is that Nokian tires, which used to be very good before 2017, have had a tremendous fall in quality.
