Tires Firestone or Nokia

Nokian Hak 10 are great as well, but I think they are a bit noiser and less life. But they do grip really well. I used Nokians without them being studded....my truck took off at icy intersections like nothing.

Vozim celoletne Nokian gume brez težav do sedaj, še nobena mi ni spustila.

I've been pretty happy with the cost/benefit of Firestone Indyhawk/Indy500/whatever they're calling them these days, on the stock wheels. They don't last long (I get 10-15k miles out of a set) but they're damn cheap ($650-$750), and break traction quite easily and predictably, if you enjoy going a little sideways often. I usually am running the Flying Miata alignment specs with these tires break loose fantastically easily and enjoyable for me on that alignment. On a factory alignment though they are reasonably grippy for spirited street driving. Again though the biggest benefit of them is they are super widely available (because Firestone) and CHEAP.

I daily my RWD BMW Z4 in Chicago. I invested into Nokian winter tires and never had issues with being stuck.

I use Nokian Hakkepellitas for Calgary winters. They’ll do what you need in Toronto.

I run Nokian R5 SUV on my b85 sq5 and they're really, really good.

I have nokian on the car and its been fantastic, been using nokians for ages for winter tires.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta is your best answer. These tires run toe to toe with everything else available on snow and ice acceleration and handling and beat everything else on stopping ability on snow and ice.

The Firestone FT140 are annoyingly loud.

I will not buy  Nokian. Dry rot and cracking on sidewalls on 3000 miles. Didn't stand behind their warranty
