Tires Falken or Nokia

Falken Tires

I just bought some Falken Sincera SN211's for my 03 VUE for $450 installed. 80K Warranty. Pretty good if you don't need performance tires.

Pros: pretty good, 80k warranty
Cons: not performance tires

I have a nice set of Falken Zeix 512 on my Fox and they grip nicely in all seasons, plus pretty cheap. I give thumbs up to the Falkens

Pros: grip nicely, pretty cheap

Your tires are one of the main factors contributing to the wheelspin. If its a big enough issue, get a dedicated summer tire like the Dunlop Star Spec or Falken Azenis 615. I have had both of those tires on high powered FWD cars and they make a big difference.

Pros: big difference, improves wheelspin

Nokia Tires

I ended up going onto the Nokian website and searched around for the right snow tires for an EV. They actually have them. They have them up to a 99 load rating which is much better than the 95s I had. Made a huge difference in handling...

Pros: huge difference in handling
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I too was running Nokian Haks and it was almost uncanny how good the traction was not just in deep fresh but on compacted snow and ice. The EV is a very heavy vehicle and having 2/3 the weight (depending on cargo) over the drive wheels makes a very stable setup.

Pros: good traction, stable setup
Cons: load rating tough to find
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Nokia Tires

17" of snow We just received an official 17.1" of snow so here is how my 01mv did with a set of Nokian Haks: At the end of the storm I tried to drive uphill to my house on an unplowed residential street. Made it most of the way before getting stuck - the front bumper was pushing snow.

Pros: good traction, money well spent
Cons: front bumper pushing snow
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I really like Falken, far better bang for the buck than BFG, or Pirelli IMHO. Had Ziex on my wrx, and on a few cars since. Great tires.

Pros: great bang for buck
Vehicle: Subaru
