Tires Nokia or WEST LAKE

I’ve had 22” Nokians on my R1S for 8,000 miles, and noticed no difference in efficiency. I *have* noticed (as have others) that they have significantly more tread than the stock Pirellis at this same point. Given their cost, any increase in “fuel” costs due to worse efficiency (if that is a thing) will probably be more than made up for by the lower cost of the tires, and the (likely) longer useable life.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5. I have them on my Mk7.5 and love them. They are T rated, but very quiet. I do mostly highway driving.

Nokian seasonproof 2 are way to go, nokian is quieter and pattern on them are unique they have central canals for aqualpaning like summer tyres and the treads like winter tyres. I've never seen this before on any allseason tyre brend.

I live in a ski town BC, that averages >30 FEET of snowfall annually. Often roads have caked snow, sluff, sleet & ice. Between dodging tourists, wildlife and staying firmy lodged, I don't dick around. I get the best. Studded Hakka's 10, that just replaced a set that I had about 30-35,000km on.

I just put on a set of Hakka R5s for the winter and the difference in road noise was startling - like driving a whole new vehicle.

I only buy Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires for snow, currently have the R5 SUV on my Pathfinder and R5 on my Legacy.

NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA Tires are amazing.

Yep big fan of Nokians. I had some for my last SUV and absolutely loved them.

last tire I bought was Nokian ice edge, Chinese but good for our climate. This will be the third, and last season for these tires so they lasted ok.

The a while they had an issue with tread separation. Ton of them got recalled. They’ve been fine since but reputation is tainted. Ran a set years ago. They didn’t separate on me but they were built thin so potholes and the sight of nails would puncture them.
