Tires Firestone or Nokia
This is a great ad for Nokian hakkapeliitta r5 . I'm slipping 'n sliding with control on backroads in 8" of snow counter sterring all the way.
Nokian Haks - BEAST of a winter tire. Between the AWD, and these tires, I had ZERO issues driving around Edmonton last week, where it was -20, and the roads were in awful condition.
I took my stock pirellis off when I put the Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3s on for the winter.
Going for my first rotation today on the Nokian Ones! So far, perfect!
The Nokian performs very well in both wet and dry conditions. In the dry, however, the car feels like it is floating (swimming) in the corners due to the tread sipes on the outer shoulder. The tyre is stable, but steering is not as direct as with other all\u2011season tyres or summer tyres. Wet grip is good.
I got the Nokian Outpost APT and they are amazing in snow, look great, have a long warranty, and a mild increase in road noise.
I put on Firestone destination at 2s in 235/65 r17. They are only 4lbs more than stock and perform great!
I have Nokian Hakkapellita R5s on my winter-driven sports car and they are way too squishy and comfort-focussed.
I’ve had both the firestones and pilot sports on my corvette. The wet weather grip on the PS is much better. I would fishtail pretty regularly with the firestones. Would not recommend if you plan to drive in the rain.
I’ve had both tires on my Charger. The firestones are very noisy.
