I have the Nokian Encompass AW02 a very similar style tire but cheaper. Been happy with them so far. Was recommended at discount tire for my Subaru Forester. If you want another option...
I've been happy with General G Max on a few cars and going to continental extreme contact dws 06 plus next set of shoes on whatever car needs them first.
FWD 98 ford taurus wagon on nokian Hakkapellitta R5's, I havent broke traction once this winter yet
We got the hakka studded ones on this year and WOW I will never go bad. We were using Firestone winter tires that came with our car before that and slid all over the place.
Purchased nokian Hakkapellitta R5's for my 98 ford taurus wagon. I will never recommend another tire, would only reccomend studded hakka's. I drive the 881 up north to conklin and back south to cold lake every 2 weeks (2 on 2 off shift) these wheels have 100% given me a false sense of security on the road because I am yet to lose any form of traction even starting from a stop sign on an incline.
Nokian hakkapeliitta r5s on the crosstrek made easy work
AWD with winter tires is like a cheat code for winter driving. I used Nokian Hakkas on my old Audi and it made winter driving actually fun and enjoyable.
Moved here from Ontario last month and bought my first pair of proper winter tires, studded Nokian Hakkas. Legit night and day difference from the all seasons I had before on my AWD Outback
I’ve been driving on both all weather and winter tires in Calgary for 35 years. I cant tell the difference. I’ve done dozens of trips through the mountain passes on both as well…also cant tell the difference. All weathers usually are Nokian WRG (currently I have a set of Michelin Cross-Climates on one vehicle) and winters are Pirelli or Nokian
That is the tread of my Nokain Hakkapellita tire, sitting on the side of the highway after blowing off the tire at highway speeds.
This is my winter car, a Subaru Impreza. Nokian Hakkapellita winter tires stay on the car year round, as it only gets driven in the winter months. The tires are 3 years old.
I decided to start the car up and take it for a drive one night in late September, thinking nothing of the tires. I made it about 15 minutes into my drive before BANG, my front drivers side tire tread completely disconnected from the tire, and the sidewall blew apart.
I was driving about 110km/h when this happened and the car almost rolled before I got it back under control.
When I went back up to retrieve the car the next day, the amount of dry rot on the tires was mind blowing. These 3 year old tires had completely dry rotted out over the course of the summer without me thinking to even have a look.
