Tires Nokia or Barum

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5s are le top du top.

Splurge on Nokian, I have been driving on the same set of winter tires for the last 14 years. Still have about 5mm of thread left.

I swapped mine out for Nokian R5 and had no issues with snow ice, even in the Catskills. I used them for 2k miles

I use Nokian tires. They are very quiet and I’m satisfied. I’d recommend them to my parents.

I personally use Nokian winter tires. I've had the others, but keep coming back to the Nokians. Studded tires are unwelcome on the highway for me as they are loud and will add to driver fatigue over longer trips. Two hours of studded tire noise would drive me insane!

Winter tires. You are probably fine with studless, something like Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5.

Pretty sure that Kal Tire is the only place that carries Nokians. They’re worth it.

We've used Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for nearly 20 years.

Best. Tires. Ever.

I bought these tires in October 2022. Not impressed. High pitched loud whine on the highway. Big flakes of the tire coming off on 2. Contacted the place I bought them from and they said it was due to rough road. I’ve always had a gravel driveway and never had this happen before 0/10 on durability and pleasantness of ride. 30000 miles and down to 30% tread already. I wouldn’t buy them again.

Our 3 year old WRG4 were done due to dry rot as well. Nokian have good winter rubber, but I stay away from their all seasons & all weathers.
