Tires Nokia or WEST LAKE

I'm in Alberta with a 2022 CX-30 GT Turbo. I went with a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5's. Fantastic tires for ice and snow. The AWD does its job as well so winter driving hasn't been an issue.

Anything Nokian. Nokian Hakkapelitta R5 is what I use in Sweden and they work extremely well. They work in a wide range of temperatures and work well on roads that aren’t very snow covered as well as roads with quite a bit of snow.

I’m not convinced that Chinese tires are terrible, it depends on the brand. ZC tires, who make Westlake and Arisun, I think makes a good product, and have arguably the most advanced automated tire manufacturing for any consumer tires. If you handed me that list and said, you need tires today, these are the brands we have in stock, I’d go with Westlake.

I've always mounted/balanced westlake winter tires onto used cars at my dealer. They're cheap and readily available.

Had a set on my 2020 Highlander Hybrid. Put about 45k on them with no problems. We have crappy pothole roads and for the beating they took, they held up great. Just purchased again for a passenger car.

Though now I have a new car with SUV version Nokians, they feel much better than smaller tire sizes of Nokian.

Both are top tier winter tires, just Nokian being generally noisier

wala sa list, pero westlake ain't that bad.

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.
