Tires Nokia or DEXTER

We have studded Nokian hakkapalitta, love them.

I won't drive on anything but studded Nokian tires now.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded would be my #1 choice. Best winter tire imo.

Had blizzacs for years. Got studded Hakkas never going back.

From my experience, Nokian makes the best winter tires. Once you use winter tires on slush, ice and snow, you will never go back to all season tires in winter. With AWD, it's more about being able to turn and brake in slippery conditions than getting started.

I’ve owned 5 sets of Nokian tires and never a single issue with dry rot.

I went with Nokian outpost APTs. only had them for a few weeks and they handle just as well as the road tires I had on previously.

The Nokian lasts so Long been using it since 2001 in Minnesota and now it's 2024. Rubber and studs like new. Best money I ever spent.

I’ve had WRG4s on my Alltrack for a year and a few months now. Good tires, just too soft for summer highway driving. Very quiet and comfortable ride with great grip on snow. They’re almost as soft as winter tires and as a result wear very quick. I ordered a set of Nokian One a couple days ago. They seem very promising as a premium touring tire with a 720 treadwear rating with projected treadlife of 80k. Figured I can give up some winter traction for a longer tread life and better dry handling.

Hope you have a better experience with the Outpost AT’s than I did. Just pulled them off my WK2 Grand Cherokee and disposed of them after 15K. Either way had substantial cracking and dry-rotting in-between treadblocks and violent shaking that went away with new Destination AT2’s.
