Tires Nokia or RIKEN

I went with Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 -- they're decent.

Have had Hakkas on three prior vehicles as they've been my go to for years. Fantastic tires! Wanted them on the S3 but when I saw them in store I was shocked by the softness of the compound and was worried about treadwear.

Nokian Hakkapellitas if you've got the budget for them.

Blizzaks never failed me on my FWD Volvo V70 in the Rocky Mountains. Made it up Wolf Creek Pass in February through at least a foot of snow

I have Nokian WRG5s on mine. The first set lasted 89,000 km - right to what they were supposed to. The new ones are rated good until 100,000. I've only got about 15,000km on these ones so too early to tell but tread depth is good.

As for the ride, it is very quiet and more comfortable with the larger sidewall vs the 22. The road noise is about the same as the OEM, which is good as I moved to a more aggressive AT tread, which I expected to be louder. It is surprisingly quiet.

my Nokian One's are better than the OEM Michelin Primacy and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 that I tried.

Nokian Ones have worked out well in both my EV 2018 and EUV 2022. Better traction, ride and very very slight loss in range in my EUV.

My first impression: way less road noise than the Duratracs. The Outpost Nat E's are maybe a little bit less fuel efficient than the standard Duratracs but not a huge amount -- 0.5mph on the highway, 1mph around town, maybe.

My dealer wanted $1600 to replace run flats and do the alignment. I went to a tire place and I got non run flats from Nokian and the ride is better, mileage is up a bit and it was $1150 all in

Running Nokian Hakka R2 on the CX-5 and Vredestein Wintrac on the Focus same as last year. Usually don't swap until Thanksgiving though. On a related note, I think these are the last dedicated winter tires I'm going to buy. I've been running two sets for 10 years now and even in the snowier years, I don't feel like it's been worth it in this part of Ohio. The new All Weather tires seem like they've done a good job with snow/ice, yet still keeping dry/wet traction to decent levels. I've got my eye on the Michelin CrossClimates going forward.

I know this is an old thread, mine are doing the exact same!, I called nokian and they won't do anything.
