Tires NITTO or Nokia

I always buy the nokian winters. They never fail to impress me.

Tiguan 17” steelies, et38 6.5w. I might have went a little too nuts and ceramic coated them, metal valve stems, greased weights/stems for anti corrosion, ordered Transporter T4 Lug-covers from EU and put Nokian R5 Hakkapelittas on

Yea I work at a tire shop they look exactly like every other set of nokians we throw on

I went with the Nitto Motivo 365\u2019s, partially because they look cool and partially because of the 3pms rating as i often face snow in the winter. Unfortunately, they have tanked my fuel economy a decent bit as they do weigh more and have a higher rolling resistance, but it has also gotten cold which also decreases my mpg so right now i\u2019m averaging around 28 where as before i was around 32, but in the summer I have seen long trips average around 38.

I am impressed with Nokian brand.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 for studless and Hakkapeliitta 10s for studded are hands down the best snow tires I've driven on and got to test them on 3 different vehicles. They let us test 4 of the leading competitors tires and the Nokian Hakkapeliitta out performed by far

Do you see that 6 and 4 stamped into the tread. Nokians are cool, they are telling you the tires have 60% tread or better.

Just got a set of Seasonproof 1's. Stamped (4823) made in China. will report back if they rot.

I’ve put 200k plus on ridge grapplers in Wisconsin winters. They are terrible in the snow. Awesome off-road in mud, but not good winter tires.

17 years ago (approx) got Nokian Hakkpellita P2s winter tires - only good for #1 season 6k miles I think - #2 the tires were notably poorer (no good)
