Tires Nokia or RIKEN

The OEM Michelins on my ‘23 lasted just under 30k miles - replaced with 255/70R18 Nokian Outpost nAT (32.1 in). Relatively obscure tire so I’m curious to see how they are. I’m hoping given Nokian’s rep for winter tires that these perform well in the snow this ski season.

I can say with all honesty that Nokian ( Hakka-something or other in Finnish ) is a stand out winter tire.

I've had Nokians since 2019 on all of my subarus.

Low rolling resistance and greatest snow tire I've ever owned.

I've used Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzak's but the Nokians are better.

I got Nokian Tyres, all season last fall. I drove them all last winter, which was quite snowy, 62 km each day during the work week. No issues. One very snowy day the ramp of my building wasn’t plowed or defrosted. Other cars couldn’t get up the ramp. I watched 3-4 cars try and fail and I got there and up I went no issues.

Uzmi Nokian (Hakkapeliitta). Nećeš više u životu pogledati nijednu drugu zimsku gumu.

Studded tires are superior in ice. I have ran Nokian studded and studless and studded are my choice by a large margin. I run them for max performance in the worst of conditions even if that means giving up a little performance in better conditions.

Nokian Hakkepalitta get me everywhere I need to go, even plowing snow 10 inches deep.

I have the Nokian one’s on my 430 and the One is a superb tire.

I had Nokian WRG2s on a car once in the summer. Technically an all-season, but a very very soft all-season. The only thing to note was that under hard braking/cornering they would get squirrelly since the rubber was so soft.

I will not buy  Nokian. Dry rot and cracking on sidewalls on 3000 miles. Didn't stand behind their warranty
