Tires Uniroyal or Nokia
When I lived in Michigan I usually had Nokian tires on. They make great snow tires and I think their all weather tires preform better in the snow than most brands.
The all season Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires that came on the Kona N are surprisingly good tires. Definitely a budget brand with good owner reviews.
Yes uniroyal makes a damn good tire. They are decent on the wallet. And deliver on their promises.
Nokian makes good tractor tires though cause I’ve had a set for over ten years and they look good for their age.
I put a new set of Uniroyal Rainsport 5's on my car in 2023, then drove 2100 miles to Germany and back over a 2 week period, including maxing out my car to 131mph and they are still on the car now after about 18k miles on them. They still have around 2 years of life in them.
I put these, in this size, on my R1S— they seem great so far (2 weeks). Maybe a little more road noise?
I have the Uniroyal tiger paw winter tires. Have used them for 3 winters here in Toronto. They're good.
Like Uniroyal- my Kona N came with some Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring All Season tires. They are amazing grippy in the corners for just a "touring" tire... I never would have even shopped the brand, but they seem quite good as a performance tire.
I would skip the encompass aw01s. I had a set WR G3s and then a set of WR G4s and they were great with low noise and great traction. I then tried these since they were on sale, and I didn’t find them as good as the prior two sets of nokians. They seemed noisier and only excelled in standing water traction. Otherwise snow conditions seemed just average.
17 years ago (approx) got Nokian Hakkpellita P2s winter tires - only good for #1 season 6k miles I think - #2 the tires were notably poorer (no good)
