Tires BFGoodrich or Nokia

Splurge on Nokian, I have been driving on the same set of winter tires for the last 14 years. Still have about 5mm of thread left.

I swapped mine out for Nokian R5 and had no issues with snow ice, even in the Catskills. I used them for 2k miles

I use Nokian tires. They are very quiet and I’m satisfied. I’d recommend them to my parents.

I personally use Nokian winter tires. I've had the others, but keep coming back to the Nokians. Studded tires are unwelcome on the highway for me as they are loud and will add to driver fatigue over longer trips. Two hours of studded tire noise would drive me insane!

Winter tires. You are probably fine with studless, something like Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5.

Pretty sure that Kal Tire is the only place that carries Nokians. They’re worth it.

We've used Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for nearly 20 years.

Best. Tires. Ever.

I’ve had 22” Nokians on my R1S for 8,000 miles, and noticed no difference in efficiency. I *have* noticed (as have others) that they have significantly more tread than the stock Pirellis at this same point. Given their cost, any increase in “fuel” costs due to worse efficiency (if that is a thing) will probably be more than made up for by the lower cost of the tires, and the (likely) longer useable life.

last tire I bought was Nokian ice edge, Chinese but good for our climate. This will be the third, and last season for these tires so they lasted ok.

Note to self to never buy Nokian, those things are toast.
