Nokian Hakkapeliitta is your best answer. These tires run toe to toe with everything else available on snow and ice acceleration and handling and beat everything else on stopping ability on snow and ice.
I have a set on my S4 and they're the best winter tire I've owned after having had xIces, SottoZeros and studded WeatherMasters
I run them on both the wife’s Q5 and my WRX. I’ve run Blizzaks and Toyo winter tires and the Nokian tires are head and shoulders better than those
the Nokian R5 is incredible. I used to live next to a ski resort, and the tire killed it in cold weather, ice, deep snow, the works
i recently switched from bfg ko2 to cooper discoverer at3 and love them. only issue is they pickup alot of rocks. and i live on a dirt road so constantly picking them out. but they ride great great traction in the wet. do ok in mud snow etc. ive had on 3 vehicles one was a honda element. rode like it was on rails. my excursion same and when does slide very predictable even with lsd locking poweslides.
I’m also really enjoying the Cooper AT3s I just put on and I’m getting slightly better mpgs
The OEM Michelins on my ‘23 lasted just under 30k miles - replaced with 255/70R18 Nokian Outpost nAT (32.1 in). Relatively obscure tire so I’m curious to see how they are. I’m hoping given Nokian’s rep for winter tires that these perform well in the snow this ski season.
I had the smell of spanking new Cooper Discoverer Road and Trail in my garage all weekend. Decided to give these a try. Will say these are very quiet for AT tires
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.
I will not buy Nokian. Dry rot and cracking on sidewalls on 3000 miles. Didn't stand behind their warranty
