I just put on a set of Hakka R5s for the winter and the difference in road noise was startling - like driving a whole new vehicle.
I only buy Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for snow, currently have the R5 SUV on my Pathfinder and R5 on my Legacy.
NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA Tires are amazing.
Yep big fan of Nokians. I had some for my last SUV and absolutely loved them.
Nokian Hak 10 are great as well, but I think they are a bit noiser and less life. But they do grip really well. I used Nokians without them being studded....my truck took off at icy intersections like nothing.
Yes legit! Bought Yokohama tires way back 2019 before pandemic in S&R BGC.
I also have a 22 Rav and hated the stock Dunlop Grandtrek tires. I finally swapped them out with a set of Yokohama Avid Ascend and i am very happy with them. Very quiet.
yokohama tires 2025 batch din.
The OEMs on my 22 I presume are the same as what’s on the 25s. It’s perfectly adequate. It’s not the greatest, but it’s fine enough that I don’t feel compelled to replace it before end of life due to poor traction or road noise.
I am in no way a sensitive critic of tires and/or car handling, but these tires are absolutely TERRIBLE at highway speeds. Not sure how to describe it but with any slight steering change, the back end almost felt like it was drifting. It felt like it was floating back there. Even on a lane change, you could feel the back end almost have like a slight delay and then overcorrect and come back. It was very strange.
