Tires Nokia or WEST LAKE

We have two Model Y’s in Alaska and I buy Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 EV winter studless tires. I’ve always used studless winter tires on my Subarus and now we use them on our teslas. They’re pricey—I paid $1,850 for the set (not installed, and no rims) a couple months ago. We keep them on November through March and they typically last at least 3 winters.

I’m a huge fan of Nokkian Tyres for winter.

The one proviso, buy good tires. I have All-Weather Nokians on my Forester, world of difference.

It runs Nokian Encompass AW01s which are a 3MP snowflake rated all weather tire and it's been really good in increasingly mild Wisconsin winters since 2022.

If you don\u2019t want to switch out and have 2 sets of wheels I\u2019d go with Nokian remedy wrg5

Throw some Nokian Hakka's on it and let it rock.

I just put new Nokian Hakkapeliitta studs on mine. Handles like a dream. So happy I plonked down the money.

Not sure if they exist for your size but I am using Nokian Outposts E-rated and absolutely love them. Good performance in all conditions, including rain and snow, no tire noise even above 80 mph and good off-road performance.

I used to have a set of 2019 nokian snowproofs on my car and used them on all weather conditions last winter they have a thread depth of 6mm ,they were adequate on all weather conditions also ok on snow but i didn't like their performance on snow they skidded more than usual especially on snowy uphills

I know this is a few months old and you've probably already bought tires but for anyone else stay far away from Westlake they are garbage I had a set and within a few months the sidewalls on two of them had bulges after the car just sat in my garage for a few days no potholes, damage etc. they have one job; to support the weight of the car and they can't even do that.
