Tires Firestone or Nokia

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5. I have them on my Mk7.5 and love them. They are T rated, but very quiet. I do mostly highway driving.

I've had a FWD Corolla for 12 years and it has gotten me through the worst kind of storms in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and here in NL with Firestone Winterforce tires. I swear by them! I've gotten through conditions in snow storms that even big jacked up 4 wheel drive trucks got stuck in.

Nokian seasonproof 2 are way to go, nokian is quieter and pattern on them are unique they have central canals for aqualpaning like summer tyres and the treads like winter tyres. I've never seen this before on any allseason tyre brend.

I live in a ski town BC, that averages >30 FEET of snowfall annually. Often roads have caked snow, sluff, sleet & ice. Between dodging tourists, wildlife and staying firmy lodged, I don't dick around. I get the best. Studded Hakka's 10, that just replaced a set that I had about 30-35,000km on.

I just put on a set of Hakka R5s for the winter and the difference in road noise was startling - like driving a whole new vehicle.

I only buy Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for snow, currently have the R5 SUV on my Pathfinder and R5 on my Legacy.

NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA Tires are amazing.

Yep big fan of Nokians. I had some for my last SUV and absolutely loved them.

I don't see any tire alternative that is a better choice than Firestone. They aren't perfect, but they are usually very good and don't have a lot of catastrophic failures.

Bought these Nokian One tires brand new less than 2 years ago. DOT code shows they were manufactured 2 years ago.

Mechanic says it's dry rot and I need to replace them in a few months max.
