Tires Nokia or NANKANG

Nokian's all day. We had the WR G4's on our Outback and I was smitten. They were my first experience with all-weather tires and I can't stop plugging them.

I am looking at the Nokian Tyre One All-Season for my 18" wheels also. Both Kyle and Consumer Reports say they have good (low) rolling resistance. They start with 11/32 in. tread, vs. the Primacys with 8/32 in. They are warranted for 70,000 miles, vs. 45,000 for Primacy. Noise and comfort are rated good by Consumer Reports.

The first winter I had my current car, I went out and bought a set of generic steel rims and Nokian Hakkapeliitta's. Expensive but oh so worth it.

I also have the Nokian Hakks as mentioned by others.

Studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9, give them their own rims, 4-5 years of always being able to stop, going is easy, it's stopping that matters.

I’d also recommend the Yokohama Avid Ascend series as a good all season, and the Nokian One (it’s a new tire, I’m running them on my fiancé’s car right now and while they aren’t the quietest, if you’re not a car buff they’ll be perfect for you)

On my work vehicle ( 2011 Ford Escape AWD) studded Nokians.

I have Nankang NS-25s on mine. Less than $100 each, and even with a Malone Stage 2 setup, it only spins the tires a little bit. Dry handling is surprisingly good as well. They put up with northern Illinois winters well enough, and are just fine in the rain. Not too much road noise either.

I had them on the c5s, drove them prettybhard in all sorts of weather and they were great,.. But at the first sigh of snow they were horrible, barely made it home with a 1/4 in of snow.. Dry wet however was great and to me they seemed silent..

Hakkapeliittas are super wobbly, I can't recommend those to people anyways.
