I run the Nokian Nordmans (without studs) on my 24 XL Hybrid here on the coast of Maine. Last winter my MPG did drop a bit, probably by 2-3 miles. The peace of mind is worth the mileage.
EESTIT MAINUTUD RAAWWWRRRR
Id run em for sure those dont appear to have any dry rot or cracks in em and they are a wickedly good winter tire i had a set of hakkapelitas that were 12 years old last winter and they still rocked. Not as good as brand new but for 400 bucks of our canadian funny money you are still doin alright there.
I changed my dads nokians for the first time. He always went to the dealership before. It's a 2015 4runner he bought new, and put new nokians on that winter. The nokians are from 2013. And they are still soft and not a hint of dry rot. The 4runner is garage kept, as are the tires. People here will lose their brains, but they are in much better shape than my 4 year old Continental winter tires.
MSW type 52 & nokian R5s . The gloss black looks just like the OEM darks, and are quite affordable. R5s review very well as a winter tire
Get some Nokian tires, I am super happy with mine (piggfri) as it's a rear wheel drive, and we like to get sideways. But the grip is amazing, love these tires. Kost about 7 000kr for a complete set. And it is worth it.
I just put the conti viking contacts back on the s5 last week, and I need to get some winter tires for the sq5, I think I'm going with the sumitomo ice edge as we had them with the old a4 and they went through anything. I'll probably put them back on the s5 next year. We're in NH and go up north all lot for riding, plus we get decent snow and they're great for the $. Then it's wheel shopping for the sq5 for next year! It's so nice and easy to swap out winter/ summer wheels and tires.
If its one thing to NEVER be stingy on, is winter tires, especially in Norway. I've never even heard about these tier makers and I find it sus. Go for nokian hakkapeliitta, it's a brand driven and tested in nordic countries for decades. More pricy? Yes, definitely, quality is high and they know their stuff. But sure, buy some cheap made Chinese made tiers that will be worn out by the end of the year and probably serve you shit to nothing in terms of safety when its needed.
I’m in the hilly part of southwest Wisconsin and have a 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring with Nokian WRG4 SUV tires.
Our 3 year old WRG4 were done due to dry rot as well. Nokian have good winter rubber, but I stay away from their all seasons & all weathers.
