Tires FEDERAL or Nokia

Find Nokian akkapellita, thank me later

I switch to Nokian Hakka R5 each winter and they are amazing.

Ive got Nokian WRG5s on mine, as we’ve got some pretty serious winter driving where I live, and I’ve been pretty happy with them.

Federal 595 RS RR

Wear earplugs. They're great.

Too bad Nokian doesn't offer their Tyres One in 245/35r20, with the Aramid reinforced sidewalls.

We have Blizzaks on one vehicle and Nokian Hakkapolita on the other. Of the two, I prefer the Hakkas but that may be more to that I prefer that vehicle more. Either are very good but don’t forget to drive to the conditions.

Nokian Hakkapellitas with studs on all 4 of our vehicles. For winters I go premium. Makes a huge difference

Have a set of Hakka 10 studded on my Ram 1500 rwd work truck and they are PHENOMENAL!

Central Canada here for reference and these tires are amazing on wet/clear roads and great in icy conditions with a couple hundred pound over the rear axle.

When I transition from my summer tires (Pilot Sports) to my winter (Nokian R3), it feels like I'm driving on springs. Lotsa sway and movement.

No experience with the Continentals but I really did not like the Nokians. I bought them because they seemed to be well-reviewed, they were only marginally better than the Nexens in terms of traction yet they were a decent bit louder. Despite having plenty of tread left after 35k miles I replaced them with Michelin Primacy Tour and they’re so much quieter and the traction is much improved. I had a friend who is a frequent passenger in my car comment on how much quieter it was completely unprompted the first time he rode in the car after getting the Michelins. The Nokians were loud from the beginning and traction in wet conditions decreased rapidly as they aged.
