Tires Hankook or Nokia

If anyone wants good cheap tires, go with something reputable. I and lot of guys in my local Miata club run hankook ventus v2s. Can be had for 60-70$ per tire, and grip is very good for the price. They do wear pretty fast with hard driving but great value.

Nokian hakkapeliitta are also good and reliable.

Nokian is better on Snow and ice, less tread life

Michelin is better on wet and dry, but still decent in snow, better tread life

Have a look at the Bridgestone Weatherpeak as well, better tread life and easily comparable to the Nokian in snow and ice.

The Nokian Nordman are great aswell, would argue they are bit better than new Hakkas when there is wet snow on the road (ice and compacted snow, both great).

I just came across this post after ordering a set of Nokian WR G4’s. This will make my fourth set over the years for different cars, and absolutely love them. Great grip in snow, ice, slush, etc.

I’m a fan of hankook dynapro. Quiet on the highway, but has enough tread to function in the mud.

I put them on my Clarity and they're every bit as good as the Michelins they replace at half the per mile cost. They even are a bit more efficient.

I have Hakka R5's on my S5 and doubt I'll be going back to anything else. They've handled winter here in Alberta very well so far.

I can also vouch for Toyo Observes, used those before switching and I had no complaints.

when you lose traction, it feels like it will never get to a stop (and that's with Nokian Hakkapeliittas).

I went from a set of nokian hakkapalitas to Blizzaks on a 2017 Jetta GLI. Learn from my mistake and never do this!!! You only save money until you need to get pulled out of the ditch.
