Nothing better than NOKIAN TYRES
HAKKAPELIITTA
I’ve always been a fan of Nokian tires. Through research, found what seemed like the perfect set. Hakkapeliitta R3’s. They’re studless tires, but with crystals molded into the rubber compound that act like micro studs. I didn’t want anything that would create much road noise, since road noise is mainly what we hear in the EV, so these seemed like the best of both worlds.
The Nokian tires are the winner. We run these tires in Greenland, and I run them on the R (The R2’s) in the North East. They are incredible tires in cold weather conditions. I’ve gotten many seasons - i am just now retiring them, after a very long run. They would have lasted even longer except I left them on the car in the summer because I couldn’t bring myself to switch to my firmer summer tires. Despite the abuse they held up.
I have a Finnish tire called Nokian outpost at/s and they work pretty damn well, have size 32s on a stock 3rd gen 4Runner and I went up to wheel in about 2 feet of snow last year about 5 or 6 times and only got stuck once in a deep snow drift on a hill. I’ve had no issues with them especially since they were 550 installed so not bad if you can get them and are on a budget, I think there are better options but for the price these have been almost flawless other than they are wearing a little faster then a expensive tire would, but that’s par for the course.
I recently bought four Nokian Ones for my 2019 Honda Civic EX after reading some really good things about them. I’m now approaching my first year of use and all I can say is that they’re great performing tires. Very little wear showing thus far. Fine traction throughout the year.
Had a set on my car that I just sold. In 40000 miles of having them, they were still at 80%. Noise wasn’t bad, and grip was pretty good for what they are (I’m a bit aggressive on highway on/off ramps).
Looks like Nokia Hakkapeliitta, really good winter tires If DOT etc are allright then those would be good choice.
I have used that brand i linked before though, and they are ok. I wouldnt put them on a track car or go 150mph in them, but they are fine for your average daily.
Nokian tires do that. All of there winter and summer and 4season tires through the last 10-12 years are known for devolving cracks through the outer layers. There summer tires I-line would crack all along the threads in 3-4 years.
