Tires SUMITOMO or Nokia
Coincidentally, my Nokian Rotiiva tires were awesome, it ended up cracking and dry rotting out as well. 6 years and 45,000 miles, and they still had about 50% tread lift left
My friend tried the HyperTrac and said they are better than the Nokian Z/line and Michelin AS4s.
Hakkapeliittas FTW, have the 9s on my STI and my dad has the 10s on his 440i, unbelievable amount of grip especially with awd and LSDs
These are Hakkapeliitta 9 studded that I got for a deal because the 10s are out already. Jokes aside I’ve never driven on a tire that gave me this much confidence in snow/ice.
I bought a set of Nokian One tires for my 2019 Civic EX back in September. I believe the sidewall says all-season. They’ve been excellent so far.
I like the Nokian WR G4 for my 16" wheels as it's a proper *all weather* and electric friendly (like most Nokians.) Not sure if they make them in a 205/45r17, but they are good for wet/cold/winter and just ok in the dry/warm.
I would personally recommend that you get a tire like the Nokian Hakkapelita R3 or R5. They are by far the best winter tires I have used.
Nokian WRG4’s are better than both in the snow.
Personally, I think a Hakka 1 or Hakka 2 is too agressive a tire for an AWD NJ daily driver unless your commute is only a couple of miles. They'll corner like you have four gum-erasers mounted and at least double your road noise.
I'm not a fan of Nokian. They dry rot fast.
