Tires Firestone or Nokia

If its one thing to NEVER be stingy on, is winter tires, especially in Norway. I've never even heard about these tier makers and I find it sus. Go for nokian hakkapeliitta, it's a brand driven and tested in nordic countries for decades. More pricy? Yes, definitely, quality is high and they know their stuff. But sure, buy some cheap made Chinese made tiers that will be worn out by the end of the year and probably serve you shit to nothing in terms of safety when its needed.

Check finn if better tires are to expensive for you. I just bought a set of 2 year old Nokian studded for 2000kr. Just stay away from cheap tires all together and don't buy used tires older than 4 year old unless you know what you're getting.

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

I'm currently running Firehawk Indy 500 Performance tires as all seasons and they do well enough in small amounts of snow

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.

Just got these on my wife's cx5 and yeah they didn't feel much better than the blizzaks we just removed. Then she texted over the weekend to say they're the loudest tires she's ever had and the road noise is terrible.
