Tires Nokia or GT Radial

I have really liked my Nokian nATs.

Nokian studded are good, others not so much.

I have the NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA 22” snow tire that I put on my R1S in the winter and they are awesome.

I have studded nokian snow tires and it will not happen to me.

This is a great ad for Nokian hakkapeliitta r5 . I'm slipping 'n sliding with control on backroads in 8" of snow counter sterring all the way.

Nokian Haks - BEAST of a winter tire. Between the AWD, and these tires, I had ZERO issues driving around Edmonton last week, where it was -20, and the roads were in awful condition.

I took my stock pirellis off when I put the Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3s on for the winter.

Going for my first rotation today on the Nokian Ones! So far, perfect!

I have the same noise with the Nokians compared to my outgoing Yokohama Geolandar G015 AT tires. My Yokohamas were dead silent in comparison.

That is the tread of my Nokain Hakkapellita tire, sitting on the side of the highway after blowing off the tire at highway speeds.

This is my winter car, a Subaru Impreza. Nokian Hakkapellita winter tires stay on the car year round, as it only gets driven in the winter months. The tires are 3 years old.

I decided to start the car up and take it for a drive one night in late September, thinking nothing of the tires. I made it about 15 minutes into my drive before BANG, my front drivers side tire tread completely disconnected from the tire, and the sidewall blew apart.

I was driving about 110km/h when this happened and the car almost rolled before I got it back under control.

When I went back up to retrieve the car the next day, the amount of dry rot on the tires was mind blowing. These 3 year old tires had completely dry rotted out over the course of the summer without me thinking to even have a look.
