Ran the General G-Max As-07 and they were a great tire but still had some slippage in rain. Went with the Michelin CrossClimate 2 to replace them and have never looked back. Better tire all around.
I can vouch for the Generals, their dry and wet traction is leagues better than the POS OEM Falkens, they're just as quiet, and treadwear is excellent. I ran 25k miles aggressively, and treadwear was minimal when I traded in my '18. I'm getting a new set of Generals tomorrow, when I take my winters off for the season.
My wife wanted a tire that was more comfortable, quieter, and had better treadwear than the OEM summer tires. So far, we're really happy with these tires.
Even though there's no acoustic foam like on our OEM tires, they're quieter. They're practically silent up to 50mph but there's a slight hum at freeway speeds. They're not as loud as the OEM Continentals.
They're also much more comfortable than the OEM summer tires. With the Ohlins suspension and OEM Continentals, the Polestar 2 was surprisingly jarring over small bumps on the road. One thing that I noticed was that the Nokian sidewalls seem to be pretty soft/flexible.
Tread life should be solid. Handling/Performance feels like 85% of the OEM tires.
All in all, these aren't track tires. Nor are they the sportiest tires in the UHP All-Season class. But they're a super practical choice for a wide range of coupes and sedans - they should wear well, they're comfortable, and provide enough grip to have fun.
I'm proud I bought Nokian winter tires few years ago. They weren't that expensive, about €75 each considering Continental were something like €120 each.
I put them on a Model 3 and to me I don't feel like there's anything the CC2's can do significantly better that would justify being 40% more expensive than the WRG5's.
the new set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta winter tires turned it into quite the beast in the snow and ice. I'm usually on the roads early before the plow and haven't gotten stuck or felt I couldn't continue because of the conditions.
Hey I know this thread is old, but I just discovered Hakkapeliittas and I'm planning to get those for next winter (start saving now). Just wondering is it still good without the studs? I live in Calgary Alberta.
I replace the Michelin at 20K (completely bald and dead) with Nokian Tyres One and have no complaints. They actually netted me better wh/mi by 10 wh/mi and is rated for 80k wear. How long that will last on a Tesla is yet to be seen. So far 5K in it 's still at 95% which compare to the Michelin would of been at 75%
Switched to general grabber atx in stock size. I average overall about 16 mpg with majority of it highway driving between 75-80 mph. I would say I lost 1-2 mpg
For a pickup or heavy vehicle no way, I have Nokians on my 17 Ford F350 can't wait to get them off, still have 50% according to the wear indicator, been driving for over 40 years and they are the worst tires I have ever had. This experience with Nokians has instilled a real dislike for the brand.
