I have the Nokian Ones on one of my cars and they have been excellent. I have about 35k or so on them now and they are just below the 85% mark that is on them. Quiet, smooth, great in all weather including snow and ice.
Nexen, depending on the model (avoid the CPxxx models otherwise excellent tires) are great tires and would be a lateral move from the RT43...
I went Nokian Tyres One, and not from Costco. V-rated, Aramid reinforced sidewalls for pothole damage protection, and low rolling resistance
I love my nexen nprix 8. Going to get another set soon.
I bought Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 255/45R19 last winter and they handled better than my old Xice’s
I have been a big fan of Nexen tires for some time... Sent two kids to college on them in the Dakotas where conditions can be less than ideal. And we have used their winter tires, performance tires, and truck tires as well and I can say I don't really have any negatives to say for the price... They are solid, budget tires in the same league as Cooper, General, Falken, and Yokohama... They are not Michelins or Bridgestones, but they don't try to be either.
The Wetproof 1 is a co-agreement with another manufacturer to make the tire to Nokians spec, Nokian are happy with the performance of it
I run hankook on my Miata and Nokian on my focus. No complaints there with either set.
Running Nokian Hakka R2 on the CX-5 and Vredestein Wintrac on the Focus same as last year. Usually don't swap until Thanksgiving though. On a related note, I think these are the last dedicated winter tires I'm going to buy. I've been running two sets for 10 years now and even in the snowier years, I don't feel like it's been worth it in this part of Ohio. The new All Weather tires seem like they've done a good job with snow/ice, yet still keeping dry/wet traction to decent levels. I've got my eye on the Michelin CrossClimates going forward.
I’m getting Nokians. Brand new they were okay in the snow. Not good but okay. After 13k miles and a rotate the first snow was really sketchy.
