I personally use Nokian tires and they have worked well.
Nokian hakkapeliittas are great - my #1 pick. Blizzaks good to great and much cheaper. No complaints with the Blizzaks, but I just had the impression with the Hakkas that they were another level - really surprisingly good in the worst conditions.
I’m a fan of Nokian brand. Finland knows snow and it shows in their tires. I’ve been using them for years and love having dedicated snow tires. After I had been using them for about 5 years, I talked my wife into getting a set for her car. She was mad I hadn’t talked her into it sooner.
If you're commuting every day I'd for sure get the studded Hakkas.
All you need is good studded tires like Nokian and you will be fine.
I just bought Nokians for my S80, similar pattern. Certainly a great upgrade regardless!
Go with Nokian Hakkapellittas they dance circles around Pirelli’s.
Ich habe Nokian schon ein Jahr, bin sehr zufrieden.
I bought these tires in October 2022. Not impressed. High pitched loud whine on the highway. Big flakes of the tire coming off on 2. Contacted the place I bought them from and they said it was due to rough road. I’ve always had a gravel driveway and never had this happen before 0/10 on durability and pleasantness of ride. 30000 miles and down to 30% tread already. I wouldn’t buy them again.
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.
