Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5s are le top du top.
Splurge on Nokian, I have been driving on the same set of winter tires for the last 14 years. Still have about 5mm of thread left.
I swapped mine out for Nokian R5 and had no issues with snow ice, even in the Catskills. I used them for 2k miles
I use Nokian tires. They are very quiet and I’m satisfied. I’d recommend them to my parents.
I personally use Nokian winter tires. I've had the others, but keep coming back to the Nokians. Studded tires are unwelcome on the highway for me as they are loud and will add to driver fatigue over longer trips. Two hours of studded tire noise would drive me insane!
Winter tires. You are probably fine with studless, something like Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5.
Pretty sure that Kal Tire is the only place that carries Nokians. They’re worth it.
We've used Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for nearly 20 years.
Best. Tires. Ever.
I just slapped a set of Nokian Ones on my 2015 Civic and they seem to be a very good compromise to have more of a true all-season with decent snow potential. They're a tiny bit louder than my old Continentals and feel a bit more wiggly, but I assume that's one of the tradeoffs to have a bit more winter capability.
I am in no way a sensitive critic of tires and/or car handling, but these tires are absolutely TERRIBLE at highway speeds. Not sure how to describe it but with any slight steering change, the back end almost felt like it was drifting. It felt like it was floating back there. Even on a lane change, you could feel the back end almost have like a slight delay and then overcorrect and come back. It was very strange.
