We've used Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for nearly 20 years.
Best. Tires. Ever.
I’ve had 22” Nokians on my R1S for 8,000 miles, and noticed no difference in efficiency. I *have* noticed (as have others) that they have significantly more tread than the stock Pirellis at this same point. Given their cost, any increase in “fuel” costs due to worse efficiency (if that is a thing) will probably be more than made up for by the lower cost of the tires, and the (likely) longer useable life.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5. I have them on my Mk7.5 and love them. They are T rated, but very quiet. I do mostly highway driving.
Nokian seasonproof 2 are way to go, nokian is quieter and pattern on them are unique they have central canals for aqualpaning like summer tyres and the treads like winter tyres. I've never seen this before on any allseason tyre brend.
I live in a ski town BC, that averages >30 FEET of snowfall annually. Often roads have caked snow, sluff, sleet & ice. Between dodging tourists, wildlife and staying firmy lodged, I don't dick around. I get the best. Studded Hakka's 10, that just replaced a set that I had about 30-35,000km on.
I just put on a set of Hakka R5s for the winter and the difference in road noise was startling - like driving a whole new vehicle.
I only buy Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for snow, currently have the R5 SUV on my Pathfinder and R5 on my Legacy.
NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA Tires are amazing.
Just got a set of Seasonproof 1's. Stamped (4823) made in China. will report back if they rot.
I will not buy Nokian. Dry rot and cracking on sidewalls on 3000 miles. Didn't stand behind their warranty
