Tires Nokia or Vredestein

Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded would be my #1 choice. Best winter tire imo.

Had blizzacs for years. Got studded Hakkas never going back.

From my experience, Nokian makes the best winter tires. Once you use winter tires on slush, ice and snow, you will never go back to all season tires in winter. With AWD, it's more about being able to turn and brake in slippery conditions than getting started.

I’ve put 2 sets of Vredestein AS’s on cars and they are a good tire, performs well in TR testing

Being in the DC market, Vreds are favored by European customers it seems. I put a set on my moms SUV and she loves them. I've never heard any complaints regarding them

I’ve owned 5 sets of Nokian tires and never a single issue with dry rot.

I went with Nokian outpost APTs. only had them for a few weeks and they handle just as well as the road tires I had on previously.

The Nokian lasts so Long been using it since 2001 in Minnesota and now it's 2024. Rubber and studs like new. Best money I ever spent.

I'm a little late to the discussion, but I had some Nokian all-weather tires for a couple years (on a Golf) they were better than all seasons, but definitely not as good as good winter tires in the, uh, winter.

I have a 1970 VW/Porsche 914, uses the same tire. I've had Michelins for years. About 3 years ago, I bought a set of Vredestein's - 165/15 - and they did not handle well at all.
