Tires SUMITOMO or Nokia

I've bought the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 for one car... I feel the Nokians are the best.

I love driving RWD in winter, especially a good one with a torquey V-8 and a manual transmission like my BMW 550i. It handles so amazingly well in the snow, so effortless. Obviously, high quality winter tires like Nokian Hakkas are an absolute requirement.

I wanted a drifty car to put known amazing snow+ice tires on (Nokian Hakkapeliitta) and wound up with a BMW e36 with the small 6cyl. The tires made it way, way less drifty than I’d hoped- even in 10” of heavy lake effect snow, it just grunted along like it was raining & 50°F. I didn’t even have to wait for the snow plows because *it plowed the snow*.

Any wheel that is 18x8.5 +42/+45, and 235/40R18 Michelin X-Ice or Nokian Hakka tires and you'll be golden

I have landed on Nokian all-weather tires (WRG5 is the current generation). They are a pretty decent compromise for the typical range of conditions we see here. Yes, there are better tires for the harshest of winter conditions, but the Nokian All Weathers are in the sweet spot more days of the winter than any Hakkas or Blizzaks I've ever owned. The only real downside I've noted is relatively short life before they get noisy.

Pe vara am avut Nokian noi, vara asta prima purtare si chiar au fost super, nu pot sa ma plang deloc de ele

Posesor de Nokian de iarna, de peste 5 ani. Cele mai bune cauciucuri de iarna parerea mea, rezista calumea la orice fel de test, eu folosindu-le pe tractiune spate, n am avut emotii vreodata.

Few years ago I switched to Nokian Hakkapeliitta and I don't think I'll ever switch. I have them on my F150, a 4WD full size SUV and my little car and I've never had a problem. I live in the woods with a super long driveway and my wife is on call sometimes and has to go to the hospital in all weather conditions, she's never had an issue even when the plows get pulled off the road.

I found comparable value with the stock sumitomo tires the came with.

Ei oo just noista kokemusta, mutta muutama vuosi sitten ostin Nokian Nordman 7 nastarenkaat. Ne oli alusta asti surkeat kaikissa talviolosuhteissa.
