Tires YOKOHAMA or Nokia
I just got a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta and they are the single best tires I've ever had. They are biased towards water. I've been going through all of the heavy rain puddles thinking I would hydroplane and just nothing happens. I cruise through like I have suction cups as tires.
Nokian makes some dirt nasty snow tires. Out of all I’ve ever used- they’re the best.
Now I have Nokian WRG5's on my Jetta GLI 2025 which is FWD only and they feel amazing. Much lower road noise than CC2's and MPG did not take a hit, with CC2's I lost about 3 MPGs. Nokian feels solid in every weather you can put it through including Ontario winters given black ice doesn't catch you by surprise.
I’ve had Nokian winter tires on AWD and front wheel drive and it was the most confident I’ve ever been! Couldn’t make myself slide!
Echoing Nokian for winter tires. Tier 1 in that regard along with Bridgestone.
My Challenger is an absolute beast with Nokian Hakkapeliittas, (rwd,v8, manual).
I currently run the Geolandar G015 on my MJ. Have also had them on previous vehicles as well. Work well, no issues.
i just went from 235/55 Wildpeaks (my 3-season tires) on the stock 17x8-inch rims to 215/60 Nokian R5's on 17x6.5 rims for winter on a lifted VB. My weight per corner went from 54/lbs to 41lbs.
I just tried it and the steering feels lighter; it tracks better on the highway; and it's quieter.
My wife did a set of AD09s in under 1500 miles on the back of our 250bhp Elise Cup. They work but they really do wear.
Today was my first drive into work on the new Yokohama YK-GTX tires. I normally average just over 5mi/kw, today it was just over 4mi/kw. I expected some range hit with new tires, but this seems a bit much. Is this expected, or is their arbitrary range scoring complete garbage?
