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.
Tires are the Nokian Hakka R5 OEM tires from Tesla. (studless winter tires)
I'm just letting the car deal with traction, giving about 25% accelerator input.
I drove it last weekend in a Prius with three-peak mountain snowflake all weather tires (Nokian WRG-5). Like other all-weather tires, they're good in anything down to about -15°C and start to get skittish below that as the rubber hardens.
Kumho V730
I have a set of Kumho all weather tires on the Ranger. They're better than the all seasons in the cold and rain, but they're not better in snow than the 10 year old 2/3rds worn out snow tires they replaced, and I ended up buying chains for them too.
Kumhos suck!
The OEM tires are junk. I had the kumho 7's, replaced them by 25k and they weren't great even when new.
