Tires Nokia or OEM Toyota

Had blizzacs for years. Got studded Hakkas never going back.

Bought a 2022 Sienna XLE AWD brand new April 2023. Hit a deer that night. Did $28k in damage, all covered by insurance minus deductible. Currently sitting at 60,000 miles Maintenance done: serviced everything 5000 miles and new tires at 33k miles. No unexpected repairs

From my experience, Nokian makes the best winter tires. Once you use winter tires on slush, ice and snow, you will never go back to all season tires in winter. With AWD, it's more about being able to turn and brake in slippery conditions than getting started.

I’ve owned 5 sets of Nokian tires and never a single issue with dry rot.

I went with Nokian outpost APTs. only had them for a few weeks and they handle just as well as the road tires I had on previously.

The Nokian lasts so Long been using it since 2001 in Minnesota and now it's 2024. Rubber and studs like new. Best money I ever spent.

I used to like Blizzaks, then I tried the Nokian Hakkapeliittas and found they worked better for me in Wisconsin winters.

I had the Nokian all-season snow rated tires years ago on my Subaru STi, in the midwest, as my winter tire and loved them. They were not as soft as snow tires and performed very well in frigid temps on dry and wet surface, with the occasional heavy snow.

I'm a little late to the discussion, but I had some Nokian all-weather tires for a couple years (on a Golf) they were better than all seasons, but definitely not as good as good winter tires in the, uh, winter.

I know this thread is 2 years old, but I have Nordman 7 on my 22 kona ev, and the grip is terrible. I have owned Hakkas on all my cars including subarus and they were top tier, on this car they don't grip for some reason.

The cabin noise is driving me crazy too, sort of excited to finish winter, and it ain't even started yet to be able to change them next year.
