Tires Nokia or OEM Subaru

I had WRG4s on a previous vehicle in Ontario. They are great shoulder season tires, and are manageable in the winter.

Nokian hakkapeliitta are also good and reliable.

Nokian is better on Snow and ice, less tread life

Michelin is better on wet and dry, but still decent in snow, better tread life

Have a look at the Bridgestone Weatherpeak as well, better tread life and easily comparable to the Nokian in snow and ice.

The Nokian Nordman are great aswell, would argue they are bit better than new Hakkas when there is wet snow on the road (ice and compacted snow, both great).

I just came across this post after ordering a set of Nokian WR G4’s. This will make my fourth set over the years for different cars, and absolutely love them. Great grip in snow, ice, slush, etc.

I put them on my Clarity and they're every bit as good as the Michelins they replace at half the per mile cost. They even are a bit more efficient.

I have Hakka R5's on my S5 and doubt I'll be going back to anything else. They've handled winter here in Alberta very well so far.

I can also vouch for Toyo Observes, used those before switching and I had no complaints.

Studless are what's up. Nokian studless hakkapalitas are the best snow tires I've ever owned.

I have Blizzaks ws80s on my Focus ST, and hakkas on my wife's Edge. When the Blizzaks are done, Hakkas are going on.

My previous car was a Legacy wagon on studless Hakkas . Driving in crappy Alberta winters was a complete non-event.

I’m getting Nokians. Brand new they were okay in the snow. Not good but okay. After 13k miles and a rotate the first snow was really sketchy.
