Tires Nokia or NANKANG

I switch to Nokian Hakka R5 each winter and they are amazing.

Ive got Nokian WRG5s on mine, as we’ve got some pretty serious winter driving where I live, and I’ve been pretty happy with them.

Too bad Nokian doesn't offer their Tyres One in 245/35r20, with the Aramid reinforced sidewalls.

We have Blizzaks on one vehicle and Nokian Hakkapolita on the other. Of the two, I prefer the Hakkas but that may be more to that I prefer that vehicle more. Either are very good but don’t forget to drive to the conditions.

I have nankang econex'es on my project car. Honestly they're fine. Drove them in the rain recently and never lost grip.

Nokian Hakkapellitas with studs on all 4 of our vehicles. For winters I go premium. Makes a huge difference

Have a set of Hakka 10 studded on my Ram 1500 rwd work truck and they are PHENOMENAL!

Central Canada here for reference and these tires are amazing on wet/clear roads and great in icy conditions with a couple hundred pound over the rear axle.

I've been on the 245/40/15 CRS V2s for all this season - on the front of a FWD (A052s on the rear). I got somewhere around 120 runs out of them and they felt pretty good right up until the end.

I would skip the encompass aw01s. I had a set WR G3s and then a set of WR G4s and they were great with low noise and great traction. I then tried these since they were on sale, and I didn’t find them as good as the prior two sets of nokians. They seemed noisier and only excelled in standing water traction. Otherwise snow conditions seemed just average.

I know this is an old thread, mine are doing the exact same!, I called nokian and they won't do anything.
