Tires Kumho or Nokia
Had a 2023 AWD pro S loaner for a few days while my 22 same was in the shop. Wow, the ride on the Kumho tires felt smooth. And was there improvement on the suspension between model years? Or maybe that was the tire too.
So far they're awesome. They feel kinda chunky in a good way, but smooth, and they are absolutely glued down on the steep icy driveway.
I like the Kumho Majesty 9 tires I put on it. Drives like luxury.
All 3 are good but get the Hakkas. They're very good at cornering on winding mountain roads, excellent control and they handle the spring warm/snow cycle well.
I use Nokian G4's in Colorado.
I run these on my 2019 Countryman and they work great. Very happy with their winter performance:
I like the Kumho Crugens that came on my ‘23 as OEM. AT 14k miles the seem to be holding up well, though the rears are showing slightly more wear than the fronts.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3
Turns then vehicle into a snow tank. Incredible winter tires. Always trust the Fins when it comes to winter stuff.
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.
In a year and a half of having these tires I’ve had 3 flats and 1 slow leak on the sidewall of a a tire… needless to say, I’ll never get kumho’s ever again
