We have Blizzaks on one vehicle and Nokian Hakkapolita on the other. Of the two, I prefer the Hakkas but that may be more to that I prefer that vehicle more. Either are very good but don’t forget to drive to the conditions.
Nokian Hakkapellitas with studs on all 4 of our vehicles. For winters I go premium. Makes a huge difference
Have a set of Hakka 10 studded on my Ram 1500 rwd work truck and they are PHENOMENAL!
Central Canada here for reference and these tires are amazing on wet/clear roads and great in icy conditions with a couple hundred pound over the rear axle.
Update: got the Nexens and so far notice 0 road noise on highway or in town, both absolutely quiet.
The Nexens without a second thought... Those N'Fera SU1 tires are excellent tires and Nexen has arguably the best warranty in the tire industry.
Nokian is the original OG in winter tire. In fact, they practically invented winter tires and have been developing winter tires since. It's all I will ever buy for winter tires. Remember that these tires were developed for the harsh Finland winters. It's why I'm currently running some Hakka R3s on my car.
Nokians all the way. IMO they're well worth the money, they're a top tier tire made in Finland.
Solterra owner here, living at 6k feet in the Sierra/Tahoe area..Installed WRg5s a month ago and it's been icy, near the freezing point on several occasions now. Maybe its the Solterra traction control, maybe its the tires...maybe its the combination of both, but I've been testing in black and glazed ice on the roundabouts and the tight icy corners and they won't. break. loose!
I was upset I couldn't buy a new set of Nokians for the Grand Marquis. Been using them for the last 12 years. I had to settle for some BFGoodrich instead. Sucks.
I had the exact same problem on Nokian tires that were less 3000 miles and under 3 years old. Had the orginal paperwork ftom the previous owner of the vehicle.
