Tires BFGoodrich or Nokia

Yes they are worth it. I\u2019ve had all types of winter tires. But the studded nokian hakkas are insane. Literally transformative.

I replaced the stock garbage dunlops with some Nokian “nordman” solstice 4 all weathers(Colorado). These are a hair louder than the stock tires since they don’t have EV foam but efficiency has been the exact same if not maybe slightly better. Ride is maybe a little harder but overall they’ve been great in the summer and during heavy rain.

BF Goodrich All Terrain KO's. Go with the LT sizes and you'll easily get 70,000 miles before you'll need to start thinking about replacing them.

Used to daily an NA Miata for years (based in PNW.) Had snow tires (hakkas) during winter and never had a problem.

I've bought the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 for one car... I feel the Nokians are the best.

I love driving RWD in winter, especially a good one with a torquey V-8 and a manual transmission like my BMW 550i. It handles so amazingly well in the snow, so effortless. Obviously, high quality winter tires like Nokian Hakkas are an absolute requirement.

I wanted a drifty car to put known amazing snow+ice tires on (Nokian Hakkapeliitta) and wound up with a BMW e36 with the small 6cyl. The tires made it way, way less drifty than I’d hoped- even in 10” of heavy lake effect snow, it just grunted along like it was raining & 50°F. I didn’t even have to wait for the snow plows because *it plowed the snow*.

Replaced them with BFGoodrich from Costco at $1550 and getting a good ride with them. 65k warranty.

Don't drive them on bare asphalt unless you want to see them wear down quickly.

KO2’s. Hard to balance, super noisey, terrible in rain and killed my gas mileage. Front tire blew out the sidewall going down the highway at 75 mph. Am running Continental Contacts A/T now. They’re awesome.
