Tires Toyo or Nokia

On my work vehicle ( 2011 Ford Escape AWD) studded Nokians.

I run my Toyo RT E at 38psi cold-

I've been running 35 since I got the new tires (25K miles ago) and they're wearing fantastically and I get 21mpg, so take it with a grain of salt. I don't like high pressure as it makes the ride jarring.

I'm a fan of Nokian WR G4's for year round use. We loved them during our MN winters and enjoyed that we could keep them on all year.

I had a LOT of luck with my Nokian hakka R9s this winter on the LX470, but it's a studded tire. the x-ice were quieter but that's possible due to studs. As of now, I would highly recommend Nokians.

I've had really good times with my Toyo Observe snow tires on my Audi. I don't really notice the noise from them and they are great in everything but straight ice.

Last Fall I asked for winter tire recommendations and ended up buying Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3s for my 2021 KonaEV Preferred - many thanks for the advice - I was **very** happy with them through the winter.

I put the same size on my wife's 2014 except Toyo Open Country AT3. Absolutely love them.

I LOVE my Nokian WRG 4 tires. They are great in the winter (they have the snowflake symbol)and the best part is you can use them in the summer too.

I just got my first experience on the Toyos this morning in some snow here in Virginia. The Toyos were really pretty awful :-(. They're fine for getting going and driving around - in fact, even starting off a hill was really no issue, but God help you if you have to stop quickly...because they wont. It was a slide-fest even with just a thin layer of snow.
