Tires Toyo or Nokia

I've slashed sidewalls and upgraded to thicker sidewalls (Toyo AT 2), never encountered a sidewall puncture after that.

I use Nokian G4's in Colorado.

I run these on my 2019 Countryman and they work great. Very happy with their winter performance:

Replaced the stock Goodyears with a set of Toyo Open Country H/T II. Best value and quietest highway truck tire I’ve owned. Also, I noticed my fuel economy went up about 1 mpg vs the Goodyears.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3

Turns then vehicle into a snow tank. Incredible winter tires. Always trust the Fins when it comes to winter stuff.

i got the h9s and they're a glitch in the matrix. never slips on ice and snow. awd and studded h9s will give you a dangerous amount of confidence in winter conditions

Nokian Hakka’s are great, they are pricier than Blizzak.

Nokian all weather tires are awesome on my 18 Tiguan

when you lose traction, it feels like it will never get to a stop (and that's with Nokian Hakkapeliittas).

I am living in Alaska now, where studded tires are a common thing. After five years in Houghton, 3 winters w all-weather tires and 2 with winter tires and now with studded tires, driving a small-to-mid-sized SUV (VW Tiguan and Jeep Renegade), my verdict is that studded tires are overblown. I have the highest end studded tires- the Finnish ones made in Russia. They offer nothing over my all-weather tires. Nothing at all.
