i run 195/60R16 Nokian Haakepelittas for winter and brother let me tell YOU, i'm very cautious about when i get into VTEC while driving on dry asphalt with them.
My Russian made Nokians have served me well, with no issues at all.
I have just over 6500 miles on my set of Nokian nAT LT275/65/20s. Echoing some of the other replies here... I've had the opposite experience and for me, overall they have performed simply better than the OEM Pirellis.
I have the opposite experience. 4,000 miles on the tires so far and my efficiency is *better* than the Pirellis by about 5%. They are better off-road, handle the sand dunes better than Pirellis
Interesting review. I’ve been running my Nokian for over 13000 miles and I haven’t experienced what you have on the road. I’ve felt they are quite stable and handle super awesome compared to the stock AT Pirelli.
I see extremely harsh winter conditions and run Sparco Terra 16x7 +35 (bronze) with 205/60r16 Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 Studded on lifted 2023 BRZ 6MT. Wanted as much sidewall as possible for the types of roads I drive.
You should look at Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 or Continental Viking Contact 7. I’ve used both on my Mini and I’ve used Nokians since I got my first Mini. Blizzak WS-90 are good.
I have Cooper Evolution Winters that are studdable. Huge fan of them and have never gotten stuck in the Wisconsin winters before.
I was upset I couldn't buy a new set of Nokians for the Grand Marquis. Been using them for the last 12 years. I had to settle for some BFGoodrich instead. Sucks.
I know this thread is 2 years old, but I have Nordman 7 on my 22 kona ev, and the grip is terrible. I have owned Hakkas on all my cars including subarus and they were top tier, on this car they don't grip for some reason.
The cabin noise is driving me crazy too, sort of excited to finish winter, and it ain't even started yet to be able to change them next year.
