I have a set of summer tires+wheels and studded tires on the original wheels 4 months out of the year I travel back and forth over a mountain pass and without a doubt they make all the difference in snow and excellent on icy roads compared to studless winter tire

Once you try studded tires in snow and ice you would never go back Buy another set of rims, change tires for winter

Comment from : The bears den

Can I get studs put in my tires before they are on the rims?
Comment from : Dawn Twyne

Located in Norway I drive mountain roads whenever I can, all year round I have the Nokian Hakkapeliitta C3 studded on my MercedesB Sprinter (RWD) van I could only wish to have a 4x4 for the most critical situations - but studded make me feel much more safe I once encountered a steep range of hills where road was pure ice, covered with a tiny layer of snow Traction control made the car go slow but I reached the destination with just few spins Don´t belive I could make it without studded Of course, snow chains would be best to use in those demanding scenarios

Comment from : George Brandt

I just bought 4 Nokian tires for my daughter's car and I was wondering if it was normal to not feel studs rubbing my hand on the wheel And they look flat like even with the tire thread

Studded tires are not legal for use in MichiganbrMy solution? Drive across the boarder to Windsor, Ontario Plus the price is less because of the exchange rate!
Comment from : Joe Jones

Been using the Hakka 8 SUV on out 2014 Toyota Highlander since 2014/15 winter Have driven all over the Alberta BC Rockies in the winter including blizzards and they are amazing tires Driven in unplowed lanes or where the plow put the snow to pass the fools who think all season is all you need, and never slip or slid, she goes true as if it is summertime Have tried others(Michelin and Blizzak) but Nokian are the best, besides once Blizzaks wear to 50 the soft rubber is gone and it is now as all season tire
Comment from : Sheldon S

Comment from : Daniel Siouffi

Comment from : rubikfan1

I bought studed tires feb 2019 I drove it from feb 2019 till April 2019,and again late October 2019 till feb 2020,and last couple of weeks I did notice that tires not performing like on beginingI am driving UBER in Canada Alberta,so these tires would be great choice if I could replace studs every seasonBut according to fact that studs run out pretty quick I should buy new tires every season or every 15 montsIt is really expensiveI think that great option would be to every year to replace studs,and tires would be perform wonderfulBut it is not available producer likes money much more than our safety,hahaha naturalybrBut if you drive your car to the work place and back studded tires are excellent for youBut if you drive UBER or Taxi be ready to change tires every season
Comment from : Miroslav Varga

Reasons not to,stud a tire They destroy our highways, for the amount of snow that falls people spend 95+ of their winter driving on dry paved roadshence reason #1 Road noise, enough to drive one nuts, and winter tire compounds are so good now that they really are not needed for few days in the winter when you may need them
Comment from : Steve Dueck

Definitely stud would not go in the snow without it!
Comment from : Duane Christerson

Je viens de me commander 4 Nokian nordman 7 cloutés pour mon Tacoma à mon petit garage du cartier Je crois avoir fait un bon choix sécuritaire Ma question est : Est-ce que le pneus est assez fort pour soutenir le poinds avant du mon camion ou j'aurais dû choisir un model de pneuf différent avec des flancs renforcis(plus de plis)?

Comment from : kam shaft

Comment from : Peter Ducree

Just did 300 some miles towing a gooseneck trailer all highway and have studded snows on my truck Was worried they might get warm and tear the studs out do to the load but held up great Always get studded
Comment from : Tzorb

Let’s say I install studded tires and it doesn’t snow Will they get worn down and will handling suffer in non-snow conditions?
Comment from : muaythai193

Comment from : Dinesh Srini

I drive from Montreal to central New Hampshire When in the mountains of Vermont on I-89 the roads can change from one mountain to the next I have been using studded Nokian tires every winter and have never had a problem I do so much mileage every winter that a set will only last me one winter Please don't drive with All season tires in the winter They don't work The money you spend on winter tires will be repaid by the life you save

Comment from : The EDNC

I have run these studded tires on an Audi S4 and s5 As well as Porsche Cayennethese Nokian studded tires are amazing The noise is noticeable but very minimal When you look at the safety marginit becomes a no brainer to run these tires as they excel in all winter/ice conditions
Comment from : musclecarfan1 & #winewithryan

I run Nokian Hak 8 studded in Canada in 5 months of winter/ice/snow diriving I've drive on Yokohama Ice Guard, Michelin X-Ice, Firestone and so many other wintersthe Nokian studded far excel the other tire by far there is no comparison In Canadian wintersthese are by far the best tires bar none
Comment from : musclecarfan1 & #winewithryan

studs don't last more than one season being effective and honestly worn studs are worst than no studs honestly studs are BS, Bridgeston blizak are studless and perform better than studded BS
Comment from : KeepersWay

Comment from : StereoSoundAgent

Police in Hungary could take your pink slip for using stud tire 0 legal :D
Comment from : BloodAcidPro

In Alberta Canada, the average garage charges about $40 to $50 per tire for studdingbrI got it done just today on my new winters, and yes, i still find it worth it, on ice which can be a lot of days in Canada, it could save you some accidents you otherwise would of potentially had

Comment from : Chris Graham

I just wish Nokian were not all directional I like to do a full rotation on my tires Not just front to back
Comment from : Garnet Campbell

I'm Swedish and I've been switching between studded Pirelli Ice Zero and studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta through the years This year I needed new tyres and went with Pirelli, since my local dealer does not stock Nokian Both brands are in a class of their own though, when it comes to winter tyres Nordman (lit "North man" in Swedish) is Nokian's second tier tyre, below Hakkapeliitta
Comment from : The Red Sphinx

I can't stand the accent, but there is no doubt that studded tires are better in every way other than the noise

Comment from : Markku P

I have driven our cars both with and without studsthey are extremely noisy on the roads especially at highway speeds and for the number of times they are really needed it’s not worth the hassleplus winter tire rubber compounds combined with great tread pattern/sipes makes them moot for me
Comment from : Steve Dueck

I have a Macan, i wonder if studed tyres are better than normal tyres I live in Romania, we don’t have the winters from Finland but our roads are not properly cleared Most of the time i will drive on asphalt but there are many times when you have to drive on icy roads I wonder i should buy this kind of tyres
Comment from : Razvan Ionut Dumitru

Stud if you live in a snowy area
Comment from : T

never going back to non-studded just love the Hakka 8 on my forester the only thing I am looking forward to is to buy Hakka 9 once my 8 are wornbut they last so long!!
Comment from : Chris L

It takes longer to brake on dry pavement with studded tires I drive in a snowy country and don't have studs and never have a accident in winter
Comment from : Kooka Munga

Comment from : Terry B

Comment from : boogerworm07

Ive used nokian hakkapelitta 8 studed tires for the past 3 winters on an all wheel drive Mercedes and I'll never drive another winter without them! These tires are absolutely amazing and I highly recommend them! My 17 yr old son just got his license and I will be purchasing these tires for his 2006 mercedes s430 4matic With these tires on his car I can honestly say it is so much less stressful and there is a much greater chance of him returning home safe and sound!
Comment from : L F

I live on the southern shore of Lake Erie, and I've run 4 studded Nokian snow tires on every vehicle I've owned Our winters demand them, last Christmas we got 60 inches of snow in 24 hours
Comment from : Ender

I live in a province where studded tires are acceptable in the winter as long as the studs are professionally installed I just discovered that my condominium forbid vehicles with studded tires of any kind because of the problem with the studs slowly damaging the pavement I would love studded tires just in case of black ice but not if I get a fine for using the tires Our condominium driveway ends onto a road with a gentle hill so I will assume they may be convinced to legalize studs once the first sliding car slides into someones suite
