Tires Kumho or Nokia
I have a set of winter wheels/tires. I can swap them myself in 20 minutes for free.\n\nNokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV 225/55R18XL 102R BSW ($183.80/each)
If you want something that lasts longer than Blizzaks but still handles snow incredibly well, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 is the other top pick. Both completely change your confidence on hills and side streets.
Upgraded to pilot sport AS at 30k miles because the Kumhos were no longer gripping in the rain (even though there was plenty of tread left).
I just put the Nokian Hakkapelitta R5SUV tires on my R1S (also in Colorado). You can put those on the 22" wheels. I will put my Pirellis back on for summer driving.
We have two Model Y’s in Alaska and I buy Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 EV winter studless tires. I’ve always used studless winter tires on my Subarus and now we use them on our teslas. They’re pricey—I paid $1,850 for the set (not installed, and no rims) a couple months ago. We keep them on November through March and they typically last at least 3 winters.
I’m a huge fan of Nokkian Tyres for winter.
The one proviso, buy good tires. I have All-Weather Nokians on my Forester, world of difference.
I’m running Khumo tires on my tacoma and they’re good enough.
Há uns 20 e tal anos meti uns nokian. Ter 4 pneus ou 4 blocos de plástico era a mesma coisa. Só descobri a diferença quando tive um furo e meti 4 Potenza que estavam em promoção. Que diferença! E em vez de deslizar rotundas… sim aquilo deslizava.
My experience with Kumho was once the top layer of the tire wore off (e.g. after a year), performance of the tire degraded. They must use a cheaper rubber underneath.
