Tires Nokia or OEM Porsche

Do your self a favor and buy a good set of studded snow tires, like Nokian Hakkapellitta’s for this drive. They’ll definitely save you some misery, and help keep you safe

I use OPD on my Bolt EUV 2023 and it works wonderfully so far. We've had tons of snow and all sorts of crappy road conditions lately in Southern Quebec (I live in the country, not the city), so I have a pretty good sampling. Reminds me when I had a manual transmission.

Ours is a tank. Running on Nokian R5s and compared to my old RS5 with winters, it’s as good as the Audi.

I have Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5s on my SQ8. Quiet and great in snow.

I’m in Alberta, Canada, where the attitude towards snow ploughing is “We do it, if we get around to it— could be sometime next week”. The Model 3 RWD is substantially better on ice than my old ICE vehicle, especially with studded Nokian winter tires on it.

Tires (Winter) Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV (Mandatory for Quebec Dec 1 - Mar 15)

I run Hakkapeliittas on my SQ5 for the New England weather and theyre great on mountain access roads in the thick stuff

I’ve run blizzaks- x-ice- nokians. Preference for the nokians but the x-ice is a close second.

Apparently they perform well which must be true since their winter tires are very popular where I live too. It is just the quality of the material itself that's awful.

That is the tread of my Nokain Hakkapellita tire, sitting on the side of the highway after blowing off the tire at highway speeds.

This is my winter car, a Subaru Impreza. Nokian Hakkapellita winter tires stay on the car year round, as it only gets driven in the winter months. The tires are 3 years old.

I decided to start the car up and take it for a drive one night in late September, thinking nothing of the tires. I made it about 15 minutes into my drive before BANG, my front drivers side tire tread completely disconnected from the tire, and the sidewall blew apart.

I was driving about 110km/h when this happened and the car almost rolled before I got it back under control.

When I went back up to retrieve the car the next day, the amount of dry rot on the tires was mind blowing. These 3 year old tires had completely dry rotted out over the course of the summer without me thinking to even have a look.
