Tires Hankook or Nokia
Tires (Winter) Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV (Mandatory for Quebec Dec 1 - Mar 15)
I run Hakkapeliittas on my SQ5 for the New England weather and theyre great on mountain access roads in the thick stuff
I’ve run blizzaks- x-ice- nokians. Preference for the nokians but the x-ice is a close second.
Get some severe snow rated all weather tires. Nokian WRG5s. I have been running their light trail tires on my Q5 and I have been extremely impressed. They handle white out blizzards on Utah mountain passes like a champ.
Get some studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires on all four wheels.
I just got a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta and they are the single best tires I've ever had. They are biased towards water. I've been going through all of the heavy rain puddles thinking I would hydroplane and just nothing happens. I cruise through like I have suction cups as tires.
Nokian makes some dirt nasty snow tires. Out of all I’ve ever used- they’re the best.
I had the ion Evo AS on my M3P and they were a nice tire, quiet, smooth. Put them on to get more life from them than the Pilot Sport 4S I had previously. Ultimately I missed the way the PS4s handled on the car and went back to them. Also note that if you have the 20” uberturbines the ion evos leave a gap around the bead of the rim and rocks do get trapped in that space frequently.
Nokia ones were like driving a chainsaw on a kettle.
The absolute worst tires I've ever owned. Townfair did a bait and switch on me and offered a "discount" for my trouble. I got like 28k out of them, straight trash.
