Tires Nokia or Hifly
I have old michelin 185hr15 on mine, but for 14 inch the closest That was cheap and available was HiFly 195/70r14 for $90 a piece
We have Blizzaks on one vehicle and Nokian Hakkapolita on the other. Of the two, I prefer the Hakkas but that may be more to that I prefer that vehicle more. Either are very good but don’t forget to drive to the conditions.
Nokian Hakkapellitas with studs on all 4 of our vehicles. For winters I go premium. Makes a huge difference
Have a set of Hakka 10 studded on my Ram 1500 rwd work truck and they are PHENOMENAL!
Central Canada here for reference and these tires are amazing on wet/clear roads and great in icy conditions with a couple hundred pound over the rear axle.
Nokian is the original OG in winter tire. In fact, they practically invented winter tires and have been developing winter tires since. It's all I will ever buy for winter tires. Remember that these tires were developed for the harsh Finland winters. It's why I'm currently running some Hakka R3s on my car.
Nokians all the way. IMO they're well worth the money, they're a top tier tire made in Finland.
Solterra owner here, living at 6k feet in the Sierra/Tahoe area..Installed WRg5s a month ago and it's been icy, near the freezing point on several occasions now. Maybe its the Solterra traction control, maybe its the tires...maybe its the combination of both, but I've been testing in black and glazed ice on the roundabouts and the tight icy corners and they won't. break. loose!
They handle rain and snow pretty well... The worst was the ice storm down in Vancouver back in February. They did amazingly well for not being true snow tires and without studs
when you lose traction, it feels like it will never get to a stop (and that's with Nokian Hakkapeliittas).
For a pickup or heavy vehicle no way, I have Nokians on my 17 Ford F350 can't wait to get them off, still have 50% according to the wear indicator, been driving for over 40 years and they are the worst tires I have ever had. This experience with Nokians has instilled a real dislike for the brand.
