Tires Nokia or OEM Toyota

I wanted a drifty car to put known amazing snow+ice tires on (Nokian Hakkapeliitta) and wound up with a BMW e36 with the small 6cyl. The tires made it way, way less drifty than I’d hoped- even in 10” of heavy lake effect snow, it just grunted along like it was raining & 50°F. I didn’t even have to wait for the snow plows because *it plowed the snow*.

Any wheel that is 18x8.5 +42/+45, and 235/40R18 Michelin X-Ice or Nokian Hakka tires and you'll be golden

I have landed on Nokian all-weather tires (WRG5 is the current generation). They are a pretty decent compromise for the typical range of conditions we see here. Yes, there are better tires for the harshest of winter conditions, but the Nokian All Weathers are in the sweet spot more days of the winter than any Hakkas or Blizzaks I've ever owned. The only real downside I've noted is relatively short life before they get noisy.

Pe vara am avut Nokian noi, vara asta prima purtare si chiar au fost super, nu pot sa ma plang deloc de ele

Posesor de Nokian de iarna, de peste 5 ani. Cele mai bune cauciucuri de iarna parerea mea, rezista calumea la orice fel de test, eu folosindu-le pe tractiune spate, n am avut emotii vreodata.

Few years ago I switched to Nokian Hakkapeliitta and I don't think I'll ever switch. I have them on my F150, a 4WD full size SUV and my little car and I've never had a problem. I live in the woods with a super long driveway and my wife is on call sometimes and has to go to the hospital in all weather conditions, she's never had an issue even when the plows get pulled off the road.

I have the Nokian Tyres WR G4, year round, and they have been great!

I ran their all-weather Remedy WRG5's last winter on my stock wheels and they were BEASTS. I HIGHLY recommend them if you live somewhere that gets mild/moderate amounts of snow and consistent temps below 40°F. They can be ran year round, but I like more grip during summer

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 had a set of Ones on my Civic for a short period but swapped them to Continental True Contact Tour 54 instead as they had some very weird vibration and wandering issues.
