Tires Nokia or Vredestein

I had Nokians on my 3, and I livelive in Wisconsin, where they handled the snow and ice, and loved their performance.

When I lived in Michigan I usually had Nokian tires on. They make great snow tires and I think their all weather tires preform better in the snow than most brands.

Changed mine to all season Vredesteins (Quatrac). Much better now.

Nokian makes good tractor tires though cause I’ve had a set for over ten years and they look good for their age.

I use Vredstein Hitrac All-season on my 2023 Camry Hybrid. Barely hit my fuel efficiency, maybe .5%. But waaayyyyy better performance is rain and snow compared to my OEM firestones.

I use them on my Camry hybrid. Great stuff, get them

Vredestein Quatrac checks all the right boxes. Replaced my now discontinued Michelin Premiers with them and I like the Vredesteins better. Consumer Reports and Tire Rack also rate Vredesteins very highly.

I have those exact tires, 195/60-15, on my GK. I very much like them.... They could do with a little better grip in dry, very spirited cornering. They eat rain like a champ.

I would skip the encompass aw01s. I had a set WR G3s and then a set of WR G4s and they were great with low noise and great traction. I then tried these since they were on sale, and I didn’t find them as good as the prior two sets of nokians. They seemed noisier and only excelled in standing water traction. Otherwise snow conditions seemed just average.

For a pickup or heavy vehicle no way, I have Nokians on my 17 Ford F350 can't wait to get them off, still have 50% according to the wear indicator, been driving for over 40 years and they are the worst tires I have ever had. This experience with Nokians has instilled a real dislike for the brand.
