I have only used the Nokian's on that list.
I have Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded tires for my VR6 CC here in Alaska. They’re expensive but they make driving an absolute dream during the long winters.
Highly recommend Nokian all weather tires.
Honestly the Nokian WRG4 is a fantastic all weather tire. I feel like you either put the tire through some rough terrain that it's not meant for. Or you legitimately got a bad batch of tires.
Go with Nokian Hakks.
I run studded Hakks on two of my cars, best winter tires I've ever had.
A few years ago I went to purchase Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 tires 225/45/18r at discount tire...they wouldn't sell AND mount for my Alltrack the Load Index Rating for that size is 91, they told me the minimum LIR is 95 for the Alltrack, they said it's a liability issue for them. I purchased Pirelli P Zero + and they are surprisingly great tires.
If Hakka R3 is available in your size, buy Hakka R3 and don't consider anything else. They really are that good. I've had R2 and R3, both amazing.
I've had my Hakka 7s on my Mazda3 since 2014 (so going on 7 winters now). They're showing their age but not their wear. Mine are studded (as all 7s are) and I love the fact that they offer exceptional performance on snow and on ice.
Had a set on my Volvo. They were good in the winter, but only okay in the summer, and they met an early demise on a gravel road in the Sangres
My car comed from factory with the Pirelli's P7 and, as others have pointed out already, they wear faster than others brands (at least compared with Bridgestone, Dunlop and Continental) and they badly cope with water. Really scary shit if the road is even a little wet. Not recommended.
