I put Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5’s on my wife’s Blazer EV AWD. Even with the AWD, the standard ultra low rolling resistance tires it came with were horrible in the snow and these made a word of difference. I/we are actually confident driving the Blazer in the snow now.
I've been impressed with my Nokian NAT Outposts this year. _Plenty_ of offroad traction, 3 peak rated, and they're lighter than Falkens.
2018 SE with VR6 engine and Nokian Hakkas. Great in the snow!
I went with NOKIAN
HAKKAPELIITTA R5. Fantastic tires.
"Nokian WR A/S (now primarily the **WR G4** generation) is a popular **all-weather** tire," I've been using these since I bought my LR4 in 2013 and will continue to do so when the Scorpion's on my 25 110 need replacing. Why? Amazing grip on dry roads, excellent hydroplaning prevention technology and a snowflake for winter driving when snow tires are not necessary. They are quiet too.
I use all season Nokian Seasonproof 2 for driving around Europe. This year it was quite a harsh winter in Poland and I couldn't be happier with their performance.
*Nokian Hakkapeliitta are amazing tires. Have never had any issues with these. The noise isn't too bad and the rubber is still in great shape. Now saying this, this is the last year i can use them according to the internet. Still look almost new, bought 8 years ago, store inside during the summer. Again still in amazing shape, and honestly the best snow tire ive ever had. The longevity on these is absurd.*
Personally, I have the Nokian WRG5 on my work van, and they have been... I don't know... OK I guess... I work in rural North Dakota, mostly highway driving but some gravel and I think they are pretty sloppy feeling on gravel at any decent speed...
Nokian WRG3s were the loudest tire I've owned by far when worn, even louder than the cheap studded winters that replaced them. Also had tons of dryrot at 4 yrs old.
I had the Yokohama with orange oil on my previous Crosstrek, and it slid in every turn no matter how slow I went.
