Tires Nokia or Laufenn

i run 195/60R16 Nokian Haakepelittas for winter and brother let me tell YOU, i'm very cautious about when i get into VTEC while driving on dry asphalt with them.

My Russian made Nokians have served me well, with no issues at all.

I have just over 6500 miles on my set of Nokian nAT LT275/65/20s. Echoing some of the other replies here... I've had the opposite experience and for me, overall they have performed simply better than the OEM Pirellis.

I have the opposite experience. 4,000 miles on the tires so far and my efficiency is *better* than the Pirellis by about 5%. They are better off-road, handle the sand dunes better than Pirellis

Interesting review. I’ve been running my Nokian for over 13000 miles and I haven’t experienced what you have on the road. I’ve felt they are quite stable and handle super awesome compared to the stock AT Pirelli.

I have had laufenn z fit eq tyres for the last couple years and they are brilliant. Heaps of grip in the wet and the dry and I have had the grip to brake suddenly to avoid a couple accidents In that time.

I see extremely harsh winter conditions and run Sparco Terra 16x7 +35 (bronze) with 205/60r16 Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 Studded on lifted 2023 BRZ 6MT. Wanted as much sidewall as possible for the types of roads I drive.

You should look at Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 or Continental Viking Contact 7. I’ve used both on my Mini and I’ve used Nokians since I got my first Mini. Blizzak WS-90 are good.

The only set of tires I have not had the best experience with are the Nokian Entyre 2.0's on my wife's Acura TLX. I feel like as they've worn, the noise in the cabin has been quite a bit louder and there is quite a bit of cracking in the sidewall/tread area. Otherwise, they have been fantastic in the wet.

Just wait until you try the Nokian Hakkapeliitta or Gislaved Nordfrost and realize that Blizzaks are mediocre at best.
