Tires Pirelli or Nokia

FWD 98 ford taurus wagon on nokian Hakkapellitta R5's, I havent broke traction once this winter yet

We got the hakka studded ones on this year and WOW I will never go bad. We were using Firestone winter tires that came with our car before that and slid all over the place.

Those tires have a foam strip glued to the inside of the tire to help reduce noise. My MYP came with Pirelli tires that had the foam and were very quiet.

Purchased nokian Hakkapellitta R5's for my 98 ford taurus wagon. I will never recommend another tire, would only reccomend studded hakka's. I drive the 881 up north to conklin and back south to cold lake every 2 weeks (2 on 2 off shift) these wheels have 100% given me a false sense of security on the road because I am yet to lose any form of traction even starting from a stop sign on an incline.

the quietest and smoothest all-season sets I’ve tried are the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 both ride way softer than the Falkens and handle New England weather really well.

Nokian hakkapeliitta r5s on the crosstrek made easy work

AWD with winter tires is like a cheat code for winter driving. I used Nokian Hakkas on my old Audi and it made winter driving actually fun and enjoyable.

Heavy air.

My initial PZeros have a tire bulge at 13k. I think they were 80% down anyhow.

our stock Pirelli’s got damage and worn very early and set had to be replaced at 11k. Not pleased
