Tires Nokia or Sailun
I wanted to provide feedback from my recent purchased of 4 x Nokian all weather WR G4 255/45 R20 for my 2020 Model Y LR.
The car handled snow, rain, slush, and a wintry mix like a champ. Not once did I lose traction or get stuck. The tires and car performed excellent.
225/45R18 Nokians on aluminum Aspen Satin Black rims. Working fine so far, live just Southwest of Toronto though so not too much snow so far.
I'm from Quebec and I have Fast FC04 19x8.5 Bronze wheels with 225/40R19XL NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA R3 .
During the chaos, my set of APTs faced deep puddles, slush, powder snow, deep snow compact snow, and ice, and many hills. Quite the shakedown indeed. But in one word, confidence! I had no problems driving off on a stand-still on either level or uphills, and no problems stopping whatsoever. My car was stable and I was in complete control at all times.
I put some Nokian WR G4s on my wife's 2017 Outback when we had that. It was a beast in the snow and I am a Nokian lifer now.
I’m putting Nokian Entyre 2’s on as soon as I need them. I’ve run them on 3 other vehicles and they are fantastic.
I had WRG4s on a previous vehicle in Ontario. They are great shoulder season tires, and are manageable in the winter.
Nokian hakkapeliitta are also good and reliable.
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.
They lasted about 30000 on my Camry. I had a problem with one of them that I had my local Firestone mount and “balance”. One day I noticed a loss of 3-4psi and subsequently saw a screw in the tire. Had been experiencing a lot of road noise sounded like a helicopter at cruising speeds.
