I have gotten 7 seasons out of my original set of studded Nokian Hakka 2 tires! Probably as much as 70,000 miles! But sadly now it's time to replace them. We no longer have a highway commute each day. It's going to be mainly around town on reasonably well -paved roads. Northern VT. Last winter was zero snow thanks to global warming... this year could be different. Anyway... I liked those old Hakkas because they were so good on all snow and ice...but they were a tough ride... blocky, noisy.
So, no studs I think.
It's down to more recent Hakka 5 or 7.
General Arctimax Arctics or
Hankook i Pike
We are not performance drivers (obviously, with an 04 4 cylinder), but I'm not leaning toward an old school blocky tire like the Cooper Weathermaster. Want a little of the more manageable feel of a contemporary tire. Mileage and low rolling resistance is not a really high priority.
I'm planning on trying to find some used so I cannot be too picky but given those options, opinions?
Thanks!
