Tires Falken 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 ????

I have an AWD Volvo with haldex too and just drove it in a snow storm and only slid unintentionally once. I\u2019m also running all seasons that are 3 peak rated(Falken Aklimate) and once again have had no issues in the wet heavy slick snow going both down and uphill and with heavy foot accelerations on flat ground.

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 got slightly larger tires (I think 235/65/r17 but could be wrong) but they fit and look nice. Falkan wild peaks, they’re 3 ply and slightly heavier so they’re basically a money sink. Worse fuel economy, more road noise, more expensive to purchase. Buuuuut… Look cooler, better off road / snow performance, less likely to pop from impact.

I put Falken Ziex (65k) on a Honda Civic 10th Gen. didn’t even make it to 40k. Never again. Rotated every oil change (5k). I know the heat had something to do with it (Florida) but the streets here are smooth as butter.

Há uns 20 e tal anos meti uns nokian. Ter 4 pneus ou 4 blocos de plástico era a mesma coisa. Só descobri a diferença quando tive um furo e meti 4 Potenza que estavam em promoção. Que diferença! E em vez de deslizar rotundas… sim aquilo deslizava.
