Tires FEDERAL or Nokia

I always buy the nokian winters. They never fail to impress me.

Tiguan 17” steelies, et38 6.5w. I might have went a little too nuts and ceramic coated them, metal valve stems, greased weights/stems for anti corrosion, ordered Transporter T4 Lug-covers from EU and put Nokian R5 Hakkapelittas on

Yea I work at a tire shop they look exactly like every other set of nokians we throw on

I am impressed with Nokian brand.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 for studless and Hakkapeliitta 10s for studded are hands down the best snow tires I've driven on and got to test them on 3 different vehicles. They let us test 4 of the leading competitors tires and the Nokian Hakkapeliitta out performed by far

Do you see that 6 and 4 stamped into the tread. Nokians are cool, they are telling you the tires have 60% tread or better.

I had Nokian WR-G2s. I had such great confidence in my Nokians on 18s. Only stuck once due to clearance but it was also a hill and just bad scenario but that was over 8 years.

Nokians are awesome tires... Only winter I've liked more are my general Altimax tires, but have only put them through one season (albeit a hard winter).

last tire I bought was Nokian ice edge, Chinese but good for our climate. This will be the third, and last season for these tires so they lasted ok.

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.
