Tires Nokia or MRF
Had the WR G4 SUV on my Ford Edge, much better then the stock Michelin Latitude tires, especially in winter.
So far they're awesome. They feel kinda chunky in a good way, but smooth, and they are absolutely glued down on the steep icy driveway.
All 3 are good but get the Hakkas. They're very good at cornering on winding mountain roads, excellent control and they handle the spring warm/snow cycle well.
I use Nokian G4's in Colorado.
I run these on my 2019 Countryman and they work great. Very happy with their winter performance:
Idk if the showroom guys have control over that because I asked for Apollo and I got MRF. The sales guy told me the bikes get allocated at random.
But coming to the tyre itself I would say the MRFs are good only. Never felt the lack of grip except one time when my tyre was in slushy mud. Appearance wise also the MRF's look a little wider compared to the Apollo's since the tyre profile is more curved in the latter if that matters to you.
Economical and life span, I would recomend mrf wanderer. 6k per tire and will give you 70k+ km life.
Harder tires like MRF, Ceat, JK etc., will offer good lifetime and low wear and tear.
Personally, I think a Hakka 1 or Hakka 2 is too agressive a tire for an AWD NJ daily driver unless your commute is only a couple of miles. They'll corner like you have four gum-erasers mounted and at least double your road noise.
I just had a set of four of the same Nokian tires replaced after only 2 years and 10,000 miles. They're terrible tires.
