Tires Pirelli or Nokia

Studded all the way! Had Hakkas on my RAV4 and they made such a difference. They can save your life on black ice.

ive used nokian all weather tires - an actual true all weather

If this is your first time, yes get some studded tires, something like a Hakkapelitta.

My little car, a fwd Ford Focus has non studded Hakkapelittas.

We drive a FWD minivan or a RWD truck - both with good winter tires, Michelin X-ice on the minivan, Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3 non-studded on the truck.

I have Nokian Hakkapelitta studded tires and they\u2019ve been amazing the last 2 years living in Banff and I have a RWD car, drove to Calgary and back plenty of times, in snow storms and have driven to Jasper and BC in the winter with no issues.

Studded Nokian Hakkapelitta are awesome best snow tires i have had and as far studded tires increasing stopping in wet I have never noticed it and I believe it is minimal if any especially with the modern studded technology

The current AS3 Pirelli? I'd say it's better than the AS4, which honestly wasn't great in the rain for me. I prefer PS4s to the AS4 for rain. Honestly, my Hankook RS4 aren't any worse than the AS4 in rain.

Michelin's. You already know the Pirelli's don't last. The next set won't be any better (speaking from experience).

Just got the Michelins put on this morning. I got 32,000 on the Pirelli’s and could have gotten a few more had I been better at rotating, no complaints on wear but they suuuuuuck in snow.
