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.
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've had both tires in 35s. Rg all the way. Last longer and much quieter in the highway.
I have both. Ridge grapplers on my tundra and trail grapplers on another vehicle. I like the trail grapplers better, and they are quieter. I won't buy the ridge grapplers again.
When the lift was installed I got 35 inch trail grapplers and it looked amazing. Highway noise increased a lot. I really loved the tires but in my opinion they worn down very fast.
I’ve had Ridge Grapplers on my ‘21 TRD pro for 45k miles and they’re just at point it’s time to consider replacement. I have been very happy with them.
When I transition from my summer tires (Pilot Sports) to my winter (Nokian R3), it feels like I'm driving on springs. Lotsa sway and movement.
They’re trash tires. My Nittos hit 20k and lost enough traction on wet that I lost confidence in them. When a nail went thru the sidewall 4k miles later it gave me an excuse to upgrade to wildpeaks. The difference was huge.
