Tires NITTO 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.

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.

It runs Nokian Encompass AW01s which are a 3MP snowflake rated all weather tire and it's been really good in increasingly mild Wisconsin winters since 2022.

I used to have a set of 2019 nokian snowproofs on my car and used them on all weather conditions last winter they have a thread depth of 6mm ,they were adequate on all weather conditions also ok on snow but i didn't like their performance on snow they skidded more than usual especially on snowy uphills

Bought these Nokian One tires brand new less than 2 years ago. DOT code shows they were manufactured 2 years ago.

Mechanic says it's dry rot and I need to replace them in a few months max.

Just bought my 1500 a few months ago and it has ridge grapplers on it. I noticed during the test drive that the wet traction was not great, and have confirmed since. Wet traction on take offs, or even hard acceleration while trying to pass or something on the highway can be problematic.
