Tires SUMITOMO or Nokia

Going for my first rotation today on the Nokian Ones! So far, perfect!

The Nokian performs very well in both wet and dry conditions. In the dry, however, the car feels like it is floating (swimming) in the corners due to the tread sipes on the outer shoulder. The tyre is stable, but steering is not as direct as with other all\u2011season tyres or summer tyres. Wet grip is good.

I got the Nokian Outpost APT and they are amazing in snow, look great, have a long warranty, and a mild increase in road noise.

Tires are the Nokian Hakka R5 OEM tires from Tesla. (studless winter tires)

I'm just letting the car deal with traction, giving about 25% accelerator input.

I drove it last weekend in a Prius with three-peak mountain snowflake all weather tires (Nokian WRG-5). Like other all-weather tires, they're good in anything down to about -15°C and start to get skittish below that as the rubber hardens.

I did the same but went with a nokian tire. Love that tire. nokian is amazing. My ride improved and road noise was reduced.

I picked up a set of aftermarket rims and snow tires from Tire Rack and have been loving them for mountain trips and Local winter road travel.

I chose the WRG5 for my mom due to superior winter performance vs the CC2 and everything I have heard is that the CC2 is one of the louder tires-

Sumitomo and Falken are grippy and good but get loud as hell after a while.

That is the tread of my Nokain Hakkapellita tire, sitting on the side of the highway after blowing off the tire at highway speeds.

This is my winter car, a Subaru Impreza. Nokian Hakkapellita winter tires stay on the car year round, as it only gets driven in the winter months. The tires are 3 years old.

I decided to start the car up and take it for a drive one night in late September, thinking nothing of the tires. I made it about 15 minutes into my drive before BANG, my front drivers side tire tread completely disconnected from the tire, and the sidewall blew apart.

I was driving about 110km/h when this happened and the car almost rolled before I got it back under control.

When I went back up to retrieve the car the next day, the amount of dry rot on the tires was mind blowing. These 3 year old tires had completely dry rotted out over the course of the summer without me thinking to even have a look.
