Tires Nokia or Sava

Those Nokian's are one reason I went and purchased a Subaru in 2013.

Friend has the Hakkapeliitta's on his Outback.

On the year it snowed heavily, had an emergency call out. I wasn't going anywhere.

He called and said "I'll take you" and my reply was "in what? A snowmobile?" His reply " no, Outback". I was like yeah..sure

Half hour, I hear his horn outside. He takes us to a lot not plowed and said get in and drive.

I was like, OK I'm close to home, I can walk back.

I put it in drive, sep on the gas and HOLY SHIT! It was amazing!

He took me on the parkway, people sliding, going off into grass or worse. Us? Cruising like it was spring.

Found he had the Nokian Hakkapeliitta's on. Damn things are so good, you could climb a tree

On the way back, we pulled out countless cars, SUV's and trucks from snowbanks, woods etc.

That sold me on both Subaru and those Hakkapeliitta's!

The Nokians are a solid choice. After extensive research I went with Michelin X-Ice for better hydroplaning and lower rolling resistance. All other testing categories were within the margin of error.

Blizzaks are great. Nokian Hakkapeliitta's are out of this effing world.

Not sure what you went with but the Nokian WR G4 are great tires. I've used 4 pairs of the WR type of tires over 15 years in Michigan, Oregon, Utah(In the Canyon), Washington and Colorado on a front wheel and AWD drive SUVs/cars. They work great and are snow tires.

Go for the Nokian Hakkapeliitta. Best tires by far! They're not cheap but definitely worth it. I have the studded ones on both of my vehicles and they're bullet proof

I got the Nokian wrg4 for my wife's 2001 Lexus rx300 and have been very impressed. Still less than 1000 miles on them though so can't speak for the longevity.

I have the Nokian WR-G4, which are in a class of tires called 'all-weather' tires. This class of tire is relatively new is much more winter biased than traditional all-season tires. It does very well with moderate amounts of snow and extremely cold temperatures, whereas most typical all-season tires are 'marginally sufficient' at best.

After driving in dedicated winters (blizzak and c-ice) for 10+ years my last two sets of tires have been Nordman WR and Nokias WR G4, both perform equally to the dedicated winters in my driving in Alberta winters with lots of mountain driving.

Had the WR G4 SUV on my Ford Edge, much better then the stock Michelin Latitude tires, especially in winter.

I had the exact same problem on Nokian tires that were less 3000 miles and under 3 years old. Had the orginal paperwork ftom the previous owner of the vehicle.
