Tires Pirelli or Nokia

I will die on this hill saying these are the single best tires I've ever used that are still "DOT" tires. Loads of grip for street riding, warm up in one lap, super predictable on track and the level of grip these offer just bar none has any right having a dot stamp. The corner drive I can get on them on a 1k is mental for what they are.

I found some Pirelli P4’s for sale on tirerack years ago and the treadlife on them is absolutely insane, and my car is able to take corners better than any Prius has the right to

I have Blizzaks ws80s on my Focus ST, and hakkas on my wife's Edge. When the Blizzaks are done, Hakkas are going on.

My previous car was a Legacy wagon on studless Hakkas . Driving in crappy Alberta winters was a complete non-event.

I run Nokian winter tires on my vehicles. They've been nothing short of spectacular through more than a decade of driving the Northern Rockies in winter. This is excellent news!

I like studded snow tires and have had some nokian tires for a while and like them alot, enough to get a set on our subaru as well.

I have Nokian WRG4 on my Chevy Cruze , and just bought some Michelin Crossclimate 2 for my other Cruze. I'll know in a couple months how well I like them both. I love the WRG4 so far but have only a tiny amount of experience with them in the snow.

Blizzak’s are very common and the general consensus is that they’re great.

An alternative you may wanna look into are the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3’s. They’re a little less common, but rated very highly and perform amazingly for the price (which is very affordable)

I’ve had WRG4s on my Alltrack for a year and a few months now. Good tires, just too soft for summer highway driving. Very quiet and comfortable ride with great grip on snow. They’re almost as soft as winter tires and as a result wear very quick. I ordered a set of Nokian One a couple days ago. They seem very promising as a premium touring tire with a 720 treadwear rating with projected treadlife of 80k. Figured I can give up some winter traction for a longer tread life and better dry handling.

I forget what there were called, but I had Pirelli snow tires on my previous XC60 and absolutely hated them. Very.. wishy-washy unstable feeling. I replaced them with Blizzaks and will never own another snow tire. The Pirelli was just not as quality as I wanted it to be. Poor life, poor grip, poor dry pavement feel and LOUD.
