Tires Nokia or NANKANG
After driving in dedicated winters (blizzak and c-ice) for 10+ years my last two sets of tires have been Nordman WR and Nokias WR G4, both perform equally to the dedicated winters in my driving in Alberta winters with lots of mountain driving.
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:
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3
Turns then vehicle into a snow tank. Incredible winter tires. Always trust the Fins when it comes to winter stuff.
i got the h9s and they're a glitch in the matrix. never slips on ice and snow. awd and studded h9s will give you a dangerous amount of confidence in winter conditions
I'm a little late to the discussion, but I had some Nokian all-weather tires for a couple years (on a Golf) they were better than all seasons, but definitely not as good as good winter tires in the, uh, winter.
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.
