Tires Cooper or Nokia

I have the NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA 22” snow tire that I put on my R1S in the winter and they are awesome.

I have studded nokian snow tires and it will not happen to me.

This is a great ad for Nokian hakkapeliitta r5 . I'm slipping 'n sliding with control on backroads in 8" of snow counter sterring all the way.

Nokian Haks - BEAST of a winter tire. Between the AWD, and these tires, I had ZERO issues driving around Edmonton last week, where it was -20, and the roads were in awful condition.

I went a bit cheaper and bought Cooper endeavor plus tires for my 19” wheels. I’m pleasantly surprised with how good they’ve been. They are very quiet, I haven’t noticed any change in range, and they performed well in the snow this past week in upstate NY while on a trip.

I took my stock pirellis off when I put the Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3s on for the winter.

Going for my first rotation today on the Nokian Ones! So far, perfect!

The Nokian performs very well in both wet and dry conditions. In the dry, however, the car feels like it is floating (swimming) in the corners due to the tread sipes on the outer shoulder. The tyre is stable, but steering is not as direct as with other all\u2011season tyres or summer tyres. Wet grip is good.

I sized up and really liked that decision. I’m mid though on my cooper discoverer rugged trek. Good wear, lowish noise for a “m/t” (basically at), good not great on dirt, rain performance has been decent, breaking is good, but the snow performance has been just ok.

Be careful with Coopers. Their QC is abysmal. I just took off a brand new set of Road & Trails, about 600 miles on them. Wouldn’t balance and the thread was coming through the sidewall on one of them.
