Tires Firestone or Nokia

I have tried falken wildpeak and Cooper discoverer all terrain tires which are both winter rated and neither were remotely as good as mt Hakepalita 10 studded tires.

I have Indy 500s on my ND banger tire for the price AND you can drive them in the rain.

I have the Nokian Encompass AW02 a very similar style tire but cheaper. Been happy with them so far. Was recommended at discount tire for my Subaru Forester. If you want another option...

While not a 200tw tire the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 (340tw) not only costs significantly less but I've ran them with excellent grip on my WRX.

The original Winter Force tires are streets ahead of the Winter Force 2.

I like the set of firestone winterforce I just put on our XC70 this year so far. Took them out on snow/ice a few times so far and they feel like I would expect any dedicated winter tire to feel. What took me by surprise is how they drive in the dry... perfectly reasonable handling/braking and reasonable road noise for a winter tire. These actually handle and brake better in the dry than bridgestone weatherpeaks.

255 35 20 for Indy 500 also works, I’m using in 21m3p. Range takes a 5% hit.

Nokia ones were like driving a chainsaw on a kettle.

Worst tires I have ever purchased. Snow traction was very good for an all season, but these should be marketed as a snow tire. The first set wore out in 13500 miles (in part due to a slight misalignment), and the second set are near garbage after 23000 miles. Most frustrating, is that they have cracked in between the tread. Firestone offered a measly discount as a warranty claim for the first set, I think $15 per tire. Spend the extra money and get a better set of all seasons.
