Tires Continental or Nokia

I only buy Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for snow, currently have the R5 SUV on my Pathfinder and R5 on my Legacy.

Conti’s DWS 06. Quieter ride so far I found them to be better than the original Perelli that came with the vehicle that said I do live in upstate New York and haven’t tested them in the snow, but I’ve had them since March and I couldn’t be happier.

We bought some excellent continental tires from the tire rack. Much quieter.

There was no Pirreli available, and I had to settle with continental. To be honest, the grip is almost as good, and they are more resistant to potholes.

NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA Tires are amazing.

Yep big fan of Nokians. I had some for my last SUV and absolutely loved them.

Nokian Hak 10 are great as well, but I think they are a bit noiser and less life. But they do grip really well. I used Nokians without them being studded....my truck took off at icy intersections like nothing.

Go with the 7's, the prices are awesome right now. Great tire, have them on the wifes SUV.

Toyo EXTENSA A/S II, Michelin Defender 2, Continental TrueContact Tour, etc. These tires are all more or less the same idea, made to be affordable, quiet, efficient and generally average in every way with very marginal, just barely good enough winter performance to get a m+s rating.

Their new US plant seems to have quality control issues. I never had similar issues with my old imported ones, but bought a set a few years ago that came from the new Tennessee plant and they had major dry rot within two years.
