Tires Uniroyal or Nokia

I replaced the stock garbage dunlops with some Nokian “nordman” solstice 4 all weathers(Colorado). These are a hair louder than the stock tires since they don’t have EV foam but efficiency has been the exact same if not maybe slightly better. Ride is maybe a little harder but overall they’ve been great in the summer and during heavy rain.

I did Uniroyal and they outlived the van. Had something like a 70k tread life. After 55k miles still worked excellent in the snow. They don’t break the bank either

I had the Uniroyal Ice and Snow 3. Ran them for 5 years, for the price they impressed me.

Used to daily an NA Miata for years (based in PNW.) Had snow tires (hakkas) during winter and never had a problem.

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

NOKIA MADE TIRES?!?

Their new US plant seems to have quality control issues. I never had similar issues with my old imported ones, but bought a set a few years ago that came from the new Tennessee plant and they had major dry rot within two years.
