In my experience Nokian Hakkapeliitta are good, but not as durable as Continental or Michelin.
We just bought new ones last year and went for Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 (studded) as we live in the coastal area and we get really icy roads throughout the winter.
I just got a pair. They're nice and grippy, which is good when the car has so much torque, and range seems unaffected, even a bit better than my previous Michelin Premiers.
I worked as a tyre fitter and wheel alignment mechanic for quite a number of years and those Laufenn would be by far the best and are actually quite good tyres. Have them on my BMW.
Laufenn if you can afford it, these use the old patterns from Hankook and are essentially a sister company to them. I deal with tyres daily and would rate these above any of the other options you've been pushed towards.
Pretty much all of those tyres are decent, I use Laufenn Z and S series (which are made by Hankook) on the back of 2 of my high performance cars as I was getting sick of paying pilot sport or eagle money too regularly and they are honestly comparable.
I've run laufenn on a newish golf and they're decent.
Quiet, decent lifespan well priced.
Tyre ship guy told me they're owned by Hankook, kind of a Lexus Toyota thing i.e not brand new tech/materials and maybe a previous tread pattern.
Been happy with them and will keep using them.
Now I am running Laufeen with summer dunlops and I am blown away!
Laufeen has been the best tires I have had. I am about 15k miles in and they feel just as good as they did day on, if not better!
I’m in the hilly part of southwest Wisconsin and have a 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring with Nokian WRG4 SUV tires.
Their new US plant seems to have quality control issues. I never had similar issues with my old imported ones, but bought a set a few years ago that came from the new Tennessee plant and they had major dry rot within two years.
