Tires Nokia or LANDSAIL

I replaced the stock garbage dunlops with some Nokian “nordman” solstice 4 all weathers(Colorado). These are a hair louder than the stock tires since they don’t have EV foam but efficiency has been the exact same if not maybe slightly better. Ride is maybe a little harder but overall they’ve been great in the summer and during heavy rain.

Used to daily an NA Miata for years (based in PNW.) Had snow tires (hakkas) during winter and never had a problem.

I've bought the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 for one car... I feel the Nokians are the best.

I love driving RWD in winter, especially a good one with a torquey V-8 and a manual transmission like my BMW 550i. It handles so amazingly well in the snow, so effortless. Obviously, high quality winter tires like Nokian Hakkas are an absolute requirement.

I wanted a drifty car to put known amazing snow+ice tires on (Nokian Hakkapeliitta) and wound up with a BMW e36 with the small 6cyl. The tires made it way, way less drifty than I’d hoped- even in 10” of heavy lake effect snow, it just grunted along like it was raining & 50°F. I didn’t even have to wait for the snow plows because *it plowed the snow*.

Any wheel that is 18x8.5 +42/+45, and 235/40R18 Michelin X-Ice or Nokian Hakka tires and you'll be golden

I have landed on Nokian all-weather tires (WRG5 is the current generation). They are a pretty decent compromise for the typical range of conditions we see here. Yes, there are better tires for the harshest of winter conditions, but the Nokian All Weathers are in the sweet spot more days of the winter than any Hakkas or Blizzaks I've ever owned. The only real downside I've noted is relatively short life before they get noisy.

Pe vara am avut Nokian noi, vara asta prima purtare si chiar au fost super, nu pot sa ma plang deloc de ele

When I transition from my summer tires (Pilot Sports) to my winter (Nokian R3), it feels like I'm driving on springs. Lotsa sway and movement.

17 years ago (approx) got Nokian Hakkpellita P2s winter tires - only good for #1 season 6k miles I think - #2 the tires were notably poorer (no good)
