Tires Nokia or Sailun

I ran the Saliun Terramax AT for 2 years, 80k km. Tread still at roughly 60 percent and no flats/cupping, etc.

We have put on several sets of Sailun tires at our shop. So far we haven't had an issue with them. Good tread patterns, they balance well, and the value is great.

I wouldn't settle for anything less than studded Nokians if you can afford it. They'll be hard to get this late in the year, but you likely already know that. I live in western NY though, so YMMV.

+1 for hakka's ... they also have a all-weather tire, think snowtires you can drive year round ... I've had blizzaks, xice's, dunlops, sotto's, alpin's etc and sofar the Hakka's have been as good if not the best.

I bought Nokian Hakkapelitta R3s for my MKVI Golf R before last season. These replaced Nokian WRG3s. The R3s were a noticeable step up in grip in snowy conditions last winter on the Matterhorn 225/45/R17

I’ve put these tires on now two different midsize cars, and have been thrilled.

I have some Nokian A/S on my Audi sedan. They have been great this summer around Denver and in the mountains on spirited drives. Would recommend

225-55-17 Nokian EnTyre 2.0 installed for over a year now, love em.

I have Nokian SUV3 (I think) all weather tires on my AWD Rogue. They are much, much better than the factory supplied all season tires. I would rate the winter traction at about 90% of a winter ice tire. In the summer they're a little loud but still perform well.

I went from a set of nokian hakkapalitas to Blizzaks on a 2017 Jetta GLI. Learn from my mistake and never do this!!! You only save money until you need to get pulled out of the ditch.
