I love my Duratracs but I gotta say I've been quite impressed with the Nokians on my wife's truck and I think I put them on my truck next time I need tires.
I have driven on winter tires by Michelin, BFGoodrich, Goodyear, Toyota, Bridgestone (Blizzaks), and nothing beats Nokian PERIOD.
I've got 35x12.5R17 MT2s and they're about as you'd expect for a large knobby mud tyre (noisy and added vibration).
Off road, great tyre. Really good value too.
Yes Nokian makes excellent tires. They’re just not as well known as the household names.
Nokian One - excellent tire.
And ever since I bought my first Nokian winter tire is that the only winter tire I use.
Find Nokian akkapellita, thank me later
I switch to Nokian Hakka R5 each winter and they are amazing.
Don't drive them on bare asphalt unless you want to see them wear down quickly.
No experience with the Continentals but I really did not like the Nokians. I bought them because they seemed to be well-reviewed, they were only marginally better than the Nexens in terms of traction yet they were a decent bit louder. Despite having plenty of tread left after 35k miles I replaced them with Michelin Primacy Tour and they’re so much quieter and the traction is much improved. I had a friend who is a frequent passenger in my car comment on how much quieter it was completely unprompted the first time he rode in the car after getting the Michelins. The Nokians were loud from the beginning and traction in wet conditions decreased rapidly as they aged.
