Tires YOKOHAMA or Nokia

ive used nokian all weather tires - an actual true all weather

If this is your first time, yes get some studded tires, something like a Hakkapelitta.

My little car, a fwd Ford Focus has non studded Hakkapelittas.

We drive a FWD minivan or a RWD truck - both with good winter tires, Michelin X-ice on the minivan, Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3 non-studded on the truck.

I have Nokian Hakkapelitta studded tires and they\u2019ve been amazing the last 2 years living in Banff and I have a RWD car, drove to Calgary and back plenty of times, in snow storms and have driven to Jasper and BC in the winter with no issues.

Studded Nokian Hakkapelitta are awesome best snow tires i have had and as far studded tires increasing stopping in wet I have never noticed it and I believe it is minimal if any especially with the modern studded technology

Yes they are worth it. I\u2019ve had all types of winter tires. But the studded nokian hakkas are insane. Literally transformative.

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.

Not sure if it's in my head or not but the ride seems far less smooth with these new tires from Yokohama

I had Nokian Black as summer tires, very hard, quite uncomfortable.
