Tires Nokia or PHANTOM

My recommendation would be the nokian hakkapeliitta. These are by far the best snow tires I've ever used. They're also reasonably priced.

Nokian Hakkapelita’s … used to run pirelli sotto zero 3 and blizzaks … never going back. Nokians are WAY better in the winter.

Nokian Hakkapelitas. They are expensive, but once you try them you can't go back.

Just an update, I managed to find 2 sets of Nokian Haka R3 a few hours prior to my trip to Leavenworth, WA. Got out of two snow storms without a problem. These tires are bomb!

I drive the same car and drive in rain seven months of the year and snow frequently when going skiing and the Nokian Hakka R3s take all the fun out of it. The remove the drama of water over the road, and sadly, near completely remove one's ability to drift across snowy parking lots. Even in the worst weather I am limited more by cars around me than I am my own confidence when driving this combination of Swedish and Finnish (I think) brilliance.

Nokian Hakka R3s is my preference. They’re pretty sporty, so the car drive much like it does on the summer tires instead of the splashy feeling I’ve had from other snows.

Agreed, the Nokian hakkapalitas are exceptional winter tires. But, the Michelin X-ICE snow tires, I have heard good things (from friends, first hand).

I can't complain about the Nokian Entyre C/S, quiet, grippy, and fuel efficient.

I really like my studdless tires. So much better with them. As long as. The ground isn't slushy lose shit, it feels very much like regular clean road driving

I had their entyre series, basically the all weather option. A bit too firm for my liking. After 20k miles, they became very noisy.
