Tires Nokia or NANKANG

Nokian seasonproof 2 are way to go, nokian is quieter and pattern on them are unique they have central canals for aqualpaning like summer tyres and the treads like winter tyres. I've never seen this before on any allseason tyre brend.

I live in a ski town BC, that averages >30 FEET of snowfall annually. Often roads have caked snow, sluff, sleet & ice. Between dodging tourists, wildlife and staying firmy lodged, I don't dick around. I get the best. Studded Hakka's 10, that just replaced a set that I had about 30-35,000km on.

I just put on a set of Hakka R5s for the winter and the difference in road noise was startling - like driving a whole new vehicle.

I only buy Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for snow, currently have the R5 SUV on my Pathfinder and R5 on my Legacy.

NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA Tires are amazing.

Yep big fan of Nokians. I had some for my last SUV and absolutely loved them.

Nokian Hak 10 are great as well, but I think they are a bit noiser and less life. But they do grip really well. I used Nokians without them being studded....my truck took off at icy intersections like nothing.

Replaced my OE Pirelli P-Zeros for Nankang CS-R tires! Super grippy and wonderful feedback!

The P-Zeros only lasted 6k miles on aggressive camber. I hope the Nankangs last close to that, but I don’t have my hopes up.

CRS and AR1 are great track tyres and so use the AR1 myself.

However, what I think is their UHP road tyre, the NS2 is poor compared to Michelin/bridgestone/Continental offerings.

Their new US plant seems to have quality control issues. I never had similar issues with my old imported ones, but bought a set a few years ago that came from the new Tennessee plant and they had major dry rot within two years.
