Tires Nokia or DEXTER

We put them on our 2018 XT this year, studless. Been pretty good so far. The -30C we've been getting in Calgary lately though there's still some slip on the hard sheer ice but no way I'd want to try regular all seasons!

I have the Ones on my 1997 Toyota Estima Emina and they're great. Nice steering response and like Nokian's other all-season tires, they do great in the wet. I also appreciate the aramid (kevlar) sidewalls.

Best tires I've used in order are:

Nokian Hakka r3 (r5, r10, r8)

Nokian One. They are cheaper than top tier tires with the same or better ratings. They have a 80k mile tread wear warranty, reinforced sidewalls and great grip in the rain. I live in the PNW and have had them for only a couple months but I highly recommend.

Mine is a beast with Hakkapeliitta R3 snow tires.

I have nokian outpost all terrains on my rig. I love the way they look.

Just installed the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV tire. They come with the right load range and speed rating and are surprisingly quiet on the road. I don't have but a few miles on them, but they look good and fit nicely though at 33" instead of 34".

Those Nokian's are one reason I went and purchased a Subaru in 2013.

Friend has the Hakkapeliitta's on his Outback.

On the year it snowed heavily, had an emergency call out. I wasn't going anywhere.

He called and said "I'll take you" and my reply was "in what? A snowmobile?" His reply " no, Outback". I was like yeah..sure

Half hour, I hear his horn outside. He takes us to a lot not plowed and said get in and drive.

I was like, OK I'm close to home, I can walk back.

I put it in drive, sep on the gas and HOLY SHIT! It was amazing!

He took me on the parkway, people sliding, going off into grass or worse. Us? Cruising like it was spring.

Found he had the Nokian Hakkapeliitta's on. Damn things are so good, you could climb a tree

On the way back, we pulled out countless cars, SUV's and trucks from snowbanks, woods etc.

That sold me on both Subaru and those Hakkapeliitta's!

Running Nokian Hakka R2 on the CX-5 and Vredestein Wintrac on the Focus same as last year. Usually don't swap until Thanksgiving though. On a related note, I think these are the last dedicated winter tires I'm going to buy. I've been running two sets for 10 years now and even in the snowier years, I don't feel like it's been worth it in this part of Ohio. The new All Weather tires seem like they've done a good job with snow/ice, yet still keeping dry/wet traction to decent levels. I've got my eye on the Michelin CrossClimates going forward.

Will NEVER buy Nokian tires. They crack on the sides and they don't stand behind them.
