Tires Pirelli or Nokia
I just put the studded Hakka 10 on my wife’s new Durango and will never go back. I have the R5 on my car and it’s no comparison to the studded 10s.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta's are the best of the best. You can get both studded and non-studded. You likely don't need the studs, but they certainly help on early morning descents down i70 into Silverthorne.
Long term update for anyone considering the Nokian One. Had them installed in 2022, put 40,000km on the vehicle since, 10k of that was probably on my winter tires. I just passed the 60% indicator. I figure they will last 60,000km.
I purchased the pirelli last spring but they had really good mail in rebates. If you can wait for a good deal, they are great tires
I replaced with Pirelli P7's. They are great, makes a huge difference in ride quality.
Nokian tires are pretty good. It's not a Goodyear, but they will perform very well.
Honestly, if you have the option to get the Nokian Hakkas I would grab those. I had Nokian Haakas when I had my Golf about 8 years ago for 4 winters in Montreal. I used to drive to the mountains to go snowboarding with my daughter on weekends at the cottage and never had an issue with driving. We get ice, dumps of snow, slush and just about everything you can get in a winter season that always seems to last forever. Looooooved the Haakas.
NOKIA MADE TIRES?!?
My Acura and GF’s Camry have Pirelli’s that we bought last year in April that are great. We bought a Highlander in November that had a set of new lauffen tires from Walmart. They have had 2 nails already. Bad luck, maybe. I’m convinced the tires are softer and more susceptible to damage.
Had Pirelli P Zeros on my RS3, all 4 began cracking (3/4 years old). Purchased 4 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres today, haven’t tested them in anger yet. Had them on my Mustang, managed to avoid putting it up a tree or into a crowd with the shitty UK weather.
