Used Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9's or 8's. Used Hakkapeliitta R3's if you're living somewhere where studded tires are illegal. Cost will be around $150-350 USD depending on your tire size, and performance will be equally as good as a newer low-end tire or even a mid-range tire if you get one that's only a year old.
Owner reviews for tires
Compare to my Pirelli Pzero they are BETTER. Better steering feel, as silent, road holding don't see a f... difference, definitely more grippy on acceleration and braking.
Nokian Hakkas, Toyo Observe GSi-5 and 6, Blizzaks have been the go-tos on all of our vehicles and among my family.
I sit around 109 C in the summer and between 100-105 in the winter. Seems normal.
Winter tires? Why not winter homologated (Canada) all season Michelin Crossclimate 2. They are better than the Pirelli PZero my 2022 came with and I don't see a difference on snow compared to my last Vredestein winter tires!
We put Nokian Hakkaapelitta R5’s on our 2023 Cooper SE (electric). It’s going to be fun to see the difference once the snow flies.
Comforser CF3000's. Chinese, but that deep lug should be a good all round tire, you'd sure be in trouble in that fall mud with well worn tires.
Usually run the hakkapeliitta 9 studded when I used to drive a lot between New England states. Best tires I’ve had for winter. They will feel a bit marshmallowish until it gets really cold 32F and under. Getting closer to 0F they firm up a bit and drivability was amazing. Assuming roughly same for a similar tire
The 2021's come with the Pirelli Scorpion Verde all season, not too bad as they work well enough in snow, washed out gravel roads and rain but they squeal a lot in turns would like a bit more traction.
It took me till the day after the first snow when I slid through a red light. They are literal slicks. Get snow tires! Blizzaks make winter magical
