Tires YOKOHAMA or Nokia

The OEM Michelins on my ‘23 lasted just under 30k miles - replaced with 255/70R18 Nokian Outpost nAT (32.1 in). Relatively obscure tire so I’m curious to see how they are. I’m hoping given Nokian’s rep for winter tires that these perform well in the snow this ski season.

I bought the Yokohama BlueEarth winter tires. They worked great. They also meet the traction requirements for things like mountain passes. I didn't notice any change in gas mileage. During COVID we weren't driving much so I just left them on all year and didn't have any issues.

I've put Yokohama Advan Sport A/S on an E39, a 996, a Z4, and my current 986; I've been very happy with them every time. They're usually a little cheaper than other big name brand tires, they're quiet, and they have plenty of grip for our cars.

I took the 996 and E39 to autox and I had to really push the Yokohamas to get them to start slipping.

I can say with all honesty that Nokian ( Hakka-something or other in Finnish ) is a stand out winter tire.

I've had Nokians since 2019 on all of my subarus.

Low rolling resistance and greatest snow tire I've ever owned.

I've used Michelin X-Ice and Bridgestone Blizzak's but the Nokians are better.

I got Nokian Tyres, all season last fall. I drove them all last winter, which was quite snowy, 62 km each day during the work week. No issues. One very snowy day the ramp of my building wasn’t plowed or defrosted. Other cars couldn’t get up the ramp. I watched 3-4 cars try and fail and I got there and up I went no issues.

Uzmi Nokian (Hakkapeliitta). Nećeš više u životu pogledati nijednu drugu zimsku gumu.

Studded tires are superior in ice. I have ran Nokian studded and studless and studded are my choice by a large margin. I run them for max performance in the worst of conditions even if that means giving up a little performance in better conditions.

I just slapped a set of Nokian Ones on my 2015 Civic and they seem to be a very good compromise to have more of a true all-season with decent snow potential. They're a tiny bit louder than my old Continentals and feel a bit more wiggly, but I assume that's one of the tradeoffs to have a bit more winter capability.

I had a set of Ones on my Civic for a short period but swapped them to Continental True Contact Tour 54 instead as they had some very weird vibration and wandering issues.
