I have tried falken wildpeak and Cooper discoverer all terrain tires which are both winter rated and neither were remotely as good as mt Hakepalita 10 studded tires.
I have the Nokian Encompass AW02 a very similar style tire but cheaper. Been happy with them so far. Was recommended at discount tire for my Subaru Forester. If you want another option...
FWD 98 ford taurus wagon on nokian Hakkapellitta R5's, I havent broke traction once this winter yet
We got the hakka studded ones on this year and WOW I will never go bad. We were using Firestone winter tires that came with our car before that and slid all over the place.
It seems like every time I go riding it rains here in Sweden, so its pretty unavoidable! I just wear a rain jacket and decent pants for all of my riding and fear most every root or bare rock encounter (which is constant on MTB trails).
Purchased nokian Hakkapellitta R5's for my 98 ford taurus wagon. I will never recommend another tire, would only reccomend studded hakka's. I drive the 881 up north to conklin and back south to cold lake every 2 weeks (2 on 2 off shift) these wheels have 100% given me a false sense of security on the road because I am yet to lose any form of traction even starting from a stop sign on an incline.
Nokian hakkapeliitta r5s on the crosstrek made easy work
AWD with winter tires is like a cheat code for winter driving. I used Nokian Hakkas on my old Audi and it made winter driving actually fun and enjoyable.
I have Nokian Hakkapellita R5s on my winter-driven sports car and they are way too squishy and comfort-focussed.
I'll never buy Nokian again. Lasted me less than two winters (stored properly during the summers) before kal tire refused to put them on due to cracking in the sidewalls. Absolute garbage.
