Tires DUNLOP or Nokia
I just put new Nokian Hakkapeliitta studs on mine. Handles like a dream. So happy I plonked down the money.
Not sure if they exist for your size but I am using Nokian Outposts E-rated and absolutely love them. Good performance in all conditions, including rain and snow, no tire noise even above 80 mph and good off-road performance.
I also have GOOD tires (Nokian Norseman studless ) and chains I can put on(Thule Easy-fit )
Laughs in Nokian winter tires ????
winter tires are absolutely 100% worth it. my personal recommendations are studded nokian hakkapelita r2s, drove on them without abs or traction control in an icy -40 alberta winter without worry.
I decided to get some Nokian Hakkapeliittas for my 03 wrx when I bought it, and I\u2019ve never once regretted that decision. I have to purposely fight to lose traction in any snow when I want to have fun.
I've been happy with all-weather (different from all-season tires) made by Nordman or Nokian tires. I use Nokain WRG4s. They are great for wet roads and some snow, but can have issues if the snow gets really packed down and slick. I find my tires maintain their thread life fairly well although you'll get less cumulative life out of them compared to switching between summer/winter tires.
The Dunlop is a decent tire. Not a front runner but about the same tier as the Hankooks. Pretty decent in the wet. Does not age well.
i purchased 4 nokia tires in july of 2024. by june of 2025 the tires are completely bald. i bought a good tire rated to 80,000 miles and have them rotated and balanced every other oil change. in my entire life i never seen a tire wear down so fast.
Our 3 year old WRG4 were done due to dry rot as well. Nokian have good winter rubber, but I stay away from their all seasons & all weathers.
