Tires BRIDGESTONE or Nokia

The Blizzak 6 is closer to the Blizzak LM001 series. Better wet and dry handling, for performance cars vs SUVs and trucks going in deep snow.

If you don\u2019t want to switch out and have 2 sets of wheels I\u2019d go with Nokian remedy wrg5

Throw some Nokian Hakka's on it and let it rock.

I just put new Nokian Hakkapeliitta studs on mine. Handles like a dream. So happy I plonked down the money.

Not sure if they exist for your size but I am using Nokian Outposts E-rated and absolutely love them. Good performance in all conditions, including rain and snow, no tire noise even above 80 mph and good off-road performance.

Lots of good info on here and from looking at the tire, I think they made a big improvement getting rid of the rib near the outside shoulder and moving all of them in board. My 71RS has shown wear on the outside edge and the outside edge of that outboard rib. This should help mitigate some of that and get a stronger contact patch in the corners.

I also have GOOD tires (Nokian Norseman studless ) and chains I can put on(Thule Easy-fit )

I've had Hakkas, X-Ice and Blizzaks.

Blizzaks seemed to degrade the worst of the bunch and performance fell off faster than the X-ice and hakkas.

I had the same issue, replaced them as soon as I could. They seem to be famous for the edge line which is same like yours.

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