Tires BRIDGESTONE or Nokia

Freaking love my 225/50/17 Nokia’s WRG3 outstanding snow and ice performance and never have to worry about random 70 degree weather temps we get in mass during winter.

I agree, very quiet compared to my Bridgestone Ecopia 422 plus H, better traction wet and dry...better handling too. Expansion joint crossings are quieter than my Bridgestones as well.

205-65-16 run fine on our Alltrack, no complaints and rides great even with studded Hakka 8.

Buy the Nokian! The best snow/ice/slush tire made! In Maine it\u2019s Nokian, Blizzak and then the X ice in that order. I run the R9 studded on both my dubs in 17\u201d. Work awesome

Get some Blizzak's from Costco while they are on sale. They have been a huge upgrade on my Mazda.

I used to use the G series winter tires but have switched to their newer Hakkapiillita tires and they're awesome.

I've been running Blizzaks for a few years now. Love them.

I've been using the WR G3's the past few winters and have also been pretty happy with them. This has been mainly suburban Boston driving. That said in the late winter early in 2018 had once instance where I had to drive up a pretty steep snow-covered dirt road with them. I thought as I started up there was maybe a 10% change I would make it up the hill.......powered up with no problem. YMMV

I am about to swap over to the Bridgestone Blizzak WS80s I bought last season. Very pleased with the wear and performance. My only complaint is that they are a little loud in wet weather. I ran General Altimax Arctic for six seasons and that was a great tire. Bang for the buck was superb.

My re050a's were totally worn out at 11k Miles.
