Tires Goodyear or Nokia
We have studded Nokian hakkapalitta, love them.
I won't drive on anything but studded Nokian tires now.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded would be my #1 choice. Best winter tire imo.
Had blizzacs for years. Got studded Hakkas never going back.
My local tire store didn’t have the Hankook in stock so I went went Goodyear Electric Drive and I like them quite a bit. There was a YouTube video about EV tires and the Electric Drive also got good ratings across many categories. So they were well balanced. The Hankook have quite a bit less grip than some other brands but that’s paid off in less rolling resistance and better range.
I had Maxlife on my 1.5T and was satisfied
Goodyear band Efficient Grip Performance 2 are the tires installed.
Almost 20000 a year in all weather conditions, very good mileage and no tire noise.
I think the tires are named as a summer tire but they have excellent grip!
Especially in the rain soooo a perfect tire for driving in Belgium.
From my experience, Nokian makes the best winter tires. Once you use winter tires on slush, ice and snow, you will never go back to all season tires in winter. With AWD, it's more about being able to turn and brake in slippery conditions than getting started.
I have since transitioned to a set of Goodyear Wrangler A/Ts (275/60/20) for the past year and a half.
The best I’ve gotten was shy over 19 MPG (19.3-19.5) but average 17-18 MPG highway, same speeds 65-70 MPH.
City is around 14-16 on average.
I am living in Alaska now, where studded tires are a common thing. After five years in Houghton, 3 winters w all-weather tires and 2 with winter tires and now with studded tires, driving a small-to-mid-sized SUV (VW Tiguan and Jeep Renegade), my verdict is that studded tires are overblown. I have the highest end studded tires- the Finnish ones made in Russia. They offer nothing over my all-weather tires. Nothing at all.
