Tires Nokia or GT Radial
Nokian hakkapeliittas are great - my #1 pick. Blizzaks good to great and much cheaper. No complaints with the Blizzaks, but I just had the impression with the Hakkas that they were another level - really surprisingly good in the worst conditions.
I’m a fan of Nokian brand. Finland knows snow and it shows in their tires. I’ve been using them for years and love having dedicated snow tires. After I had been using them for about 5 years, I talked my wife into getting a set for her car. She was mad I hadn’t talked her into it sooner.
If you're commuting every day I'd for sure get the studded Hakkas.
GT Radial Adventuro at3... superb rain on-road tire
All you need is good studded tires like Nokian and you will be fine.
I just bought Nokians for my S80, similar pattern. Certainly a great upgrade regardless!
Go with Nokian Hakkapellittas they dance circles around Pirelli’s.
Ich habe Nokian schon ein Jahr, bin sehr zufrieden.
Tried both but I’ll go with GT Radial
I have less than 25K on these tires. The tread is greater than 8/32 and I thought the cracking was part of the tread pattern. Then I noticed the tire was starting to flake apart on the tread.
I just had them replaced. I paid $800 for these tires 3 years ago. When they were sold to me they were already 1 year old. I called Nokian and they helped me find a shop that would support the warranty. The shop I bought them from would not provide any warranty support at all. This is also the shop that convinced me Nokian are good tires. I wish I had known. So frustrated that I just spend another bucket of money after 25k miles.
