Tires Nokia or Maxxis
I just came across this post after ordering a set of Nokian WR G4’s. This will make my fourth set over the years for different cars, and absolutely love them. Great grip in snow, ice, slush, etc.
I ran a maxxcross on both front and rear - rear first, before I upgraded to a 16" + shinko 525. Its not a bad tire at all, and if you're looking to keep the weight down on the stock rim then I say its a good choice.
I put them on my Clarity and they're every bit as good as the Michelins they replace at half the per mile cost. They even are a bit more efficient.
I have Hakka R5's on my S5 and doubt I'll be going back to anything else. They've handled winter here in Alberta very well so far.
I can also vouch for Toyo Observes, used those before switching and I had no complaints.
Studless are what's up. Nokian studless hakkapalitas are the best snow tires I've ever owned.
I have Blizzaks ws80s on my Focus ST, and hakkas on my wife's Edge. When the Blizzaks are done, Hakkas are going on.
My previous car was a Legacy wagon on studless Hakkas . Driving in crappy Alberta winters was a complete non-event.
I run Nokian winter tires on my vehicles. They've been nothing short of spectacular through more than a decade of driving the Northern Rockies in winter. This is excellent news!
I like studded snow tires and have had some nokian tires for a while and like them alot, enough to get a set on our subaru as well.
Aggressor has all the traction of a Dhr while rolling a touch faster. It's pretty shit in the wet though.
I went with Nokian One to replace my stock Nexens, I regret it. There is less wheel spin (still some if I put it in sport and floor it) but the efficiency seems to have taken a small hit and they’re so loud.
