Tires Cooper or Nokia
I can say with all honesty that Nokian ( Hakka-something or other in Finnish ) is a stand out winter tire.
I've had Nokians since 2019 on all of my subarus.
Low rolling resistance and greatest snow tire I've ever owned.
I've used Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzak's but the Nokians are better.
I put on a set of Cooper Endeavor Plus tires. Have had them on for 40K and still have 6 mm left on the tires, so I should get 60K+. Quiet, comfortable, and work pretty good in the snow. They ran me $563 at tire Rack for a set of 4 and another $100 for install. I would definitely buy again.
Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx All Terrain/Mud Terrain hybrid tire with really good performance off-road, in mud and sand and snow, on dry pavement, and inclement weather.
cooper stt pros were some of the lightest 37" offroad tires on the market... stt pro in that size are e-rated, which is fine with me because i've had to deal with sliced sidewalls on other brands... it is an aggressive tread.
I got Nokian Tyres, all season last fall. I drove them all last winter, which was quite snowy, 62 km each day during the work week. No issues. One very snowy day the ramp of my building wasn’t plowed or defrosted. Other cars couldn’t get up the ramp. I watched 3-4 cars try and fail and I got there and up I went no issues.
Uzmi Nokian (Hakkapeliitta). Nećeš više u životu pogledati nijednu drugu zimsku gumu.
Studded tires are superior in ice. I have ran Nokian studded and studless and studded are my choice by a large margin. I run them for max performance in the worst of conditions even if that means giving up a little performance in better conditions.
I bought a similar cooper tire for its long life. Harsh and noisy.
I have less than 25K on these tires. The tread is greater than 8/32 and I thought the cracking was part of the tread pattern. Then I noticed the tire was starting to flake apart on the tread.
I just had them replaced. I paid $800 for these tires 3 years ago. When they were sold to me they were already 1 year old. I called Nokian and they helped me find a shop that would support the warranty. The shop I bought them from would not provide any warranty support at all. This is also the shop that convinced me Nokian are good tires. I wish I had known. So frustrated that I just spend another bucket of money after 25k miles.
