Tires BFGoodrich or Nokia
Moved here from Ontario last month and bought my first pair of proper winter tires, studded Nokian Hakkas. Legit night and day difference from the all seasons I had before on my AWD Outback
Bf Goodrich KO2 ????
Studded Nokians beat everything. I\u2019ll never buy anything else! But the Michelins are a great tire.
Been running 33\u201d KO2s on my Tacoma since \u201821 in NH. Great traction on the ice & snow, no issues with them up here.
I recently replaced mine on a 21 Cherokee trailhawk with a set of BF Goodrich Trail Terrain all weather. Seem great so far and usable in any conditions (Southern Ontario).
Nokian Hakkapeliitas for me. Studded tires are the bomb when weather goes to poop. My Chevy Cruze beater out performs my husband\u2019s F-150 with 4x4 and all-weathers.
We got the Nokian hakka studded ones put in this year and it is AMAZING how much better they are than our old Firestone winter tires.
I’ve had KO2s on my 2023 4Runner for the last 2 years. Pretty good off road and on dry pavement but can be downright scary on rainy days on road. If you live somewhere that doesn’t have a long rainy season then they are fine. But not good for rainy days around town.
I have load range E tires (BFG KO3) on Rock Warrior 17" forged wheels, so I've made that tradeoff too, but am clear-eyed about consequences. Also, loss in MPG and acceleration due to having to spin more weight on each wheel. And incorrect speedometer / odometer readings. And loss in tow capacity (due to giving away torque via taller tires, which effectively decreases gear ratios).
Just found out my tires will not pass PA inspection due to chunking and cracking. I only had these tires for 3 years/10k miles.
