Tires Nokia or WEST LAKE

Just ordered a new set of Nokian tires for my Mini Cooper. It is reportedly a very good brand.

The grippiest tires I have ever used were Nokian WetProof tires. Some real beasts. Highly recommended.

I had 2 sets of Nokian WRG4 SUVs and 1 set of Michelin CC2. I now have the WRG5 Remedy because I preferred the winter traction of the Nokians better. Even with 3/32nds left the Nokians still got through the winter while Michelins offered no traction.

I love the Nokian, I just put Encompass Aw02 on my Crosstrek what a difference they ride softer track on rails dead quiet

Highly recommend the AW01. I just put my second set of these AW01s on my Ford Fusion after previously having Toyo celsius all weathers. They ride far better than the Toyos. I got almost 60k miles out of my first set yet only 35k out of the Toyos. Amazing in snow and rain here in northeast.

In winter we run studded Nokians. Just incredible.

I have Nokian R3 on the Sportwagen and Michelin X-Ice Snow (OEM) on the V60 here in Canada. Once I need to change, will likely go with Nokian. More quiet, comfortable and better on deeper snow.

I have the r5s on my xc60, best winter tires I’ve ever had.

I bought Westlake 195/55/15 for $51 from America's Tire. I have not had any problems. They are basic tires for normal driving. I do not notice any difference between them and tires that cost $20 more.

In south Florida, west lake is bottom of the barrel. I wouldn’t even consider putting them on a car I’m selling, I’d spend a little more for a brand name.
