Studded all the way! Had Hakkas on my RAV4 and they made such a difference. They can save your life on black ice.
ive used nokian all weather tires - an actual true all weather
If this is your first time, yes get some studded tires, something like a Hakkapelitta.
My little car, a fwd Ford Focus has non studded Hakkapelittas.
We drive a FWD minivan or a RWD truck - both with good winter tires, Michelin X-ice on the minivan, Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3 non-studded on the truck.
I have Nokian Hakkapelitta studded tires and they\u2019ve been amazing the last 2 years living in Banff and I have a RWD car, drove to Calgary and back plenty of times, in snow storms and have driven to Jasper and BC in the winter with no issues.
Studded Nokian Hakkapelitta are awesome best snow tires i have had and as far studded tires increasing stopping in wet I have never noticed it and I believe it is minimal if any especially with the modern studded technology
Yes they are worth it. I\u2019ve had all types of winter tires. But the studded nokian hakkas are insane. Literally transformative.
I had Nokian WRG2s on a car once in the summer. Technically an all-season, but a very very soft all-season. The only thing to note was that under hard braking/cornering they would get squirrelly since the rubber was so soft.
Their new US plant seems to have quality control issues. I never had similar issues with my old imported ones, but bought a set a few years ago that came from the new Tennessee plant and they had major dry rot within two years.
