Tires Nokia or GISLAVED

I\u2019ve run studded Nokians exclusively now for years. Never going back. What you give up in dry traction you more that make up for on those super hard packed icy days. Especially if you\u2019re running on the highways frequently.

Studded all the way! Had Hakkas on my RAV4 and they made such a difference. They can save your life on black ice.

ive used nokian all weather tires - an actual true all weather

If this is your first time, yes get some studded tires, something like a Hakkapelitta.

My little car, a fwd Ford Focus has non studded Hakkapelittas.

We drive a FWD minivan or a RWD truck - both with good winter tires, Michelin X-ice on the minivan, Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3 non-studded on the truck.

I have Nokian Hakkapelitta studded tires and they\u2019ve been amazing the last 2 years living in Banff and I have a RWD car, drove to Calgary and back plenty of times, in snow storms and have driven to Jasper and BC in the winter with no issues.

Studded Nokian Hakkapelitta are awesome best snow tires i have had and as far studded tires increasing stopping in wet I have never noticed it and I believe it is minimal if any especially with the modern studded technology

Don't drive them on bare asphalt unless you want to see them wear down quickly.

The problem is that Nokian tires, which used to be very good before 2017, have had a tremendous fall in quality.
