I would like to know how these tires are in the snow. Gonna stick with the stock ko2s this season. Just wish the blizzaks were made in my size tire. Those tires are amazing in the snow

Just got my Nokian Tyres, Hakkapeliita LT315/70R17 tires.

Can't wait to use them.

Perfect! Nice tires on seasonal steelies. For more fun, you paint wheels A51?

You can downsize the tire for the 4 months of winter to run Blizzaks. I loved plowing through snow when I lived in the snow belt. But it was the Ice that I had the Blizzaks for. And there is always ice, and hills, and as you know, Blizzaks really do work if you cant run studs. Ice. Has destroyed many a car.

Anyone cancel their Walmart order before delivery? If so, was it difficult?

would these tires in a 35” be a good choice for snow wheeling? Ideally I’d have something that works well for getting to the trails as well as actually going on the trails.

These are true snow tires from a reputable and well-known company, so they are probably close to the best you can get for on-road snow/ice grip. Pretty darn close to Blizzak, IME. I've owned Blizzak in the past, and the confidence they give you is game-changing. No more (or far fewer) white-knuckled trips through the mountains in the wintertime!

Mine shipped from Walmart today with ETA of next week. Not expecting them to be what was listed but will wait for delivery to deal with Walmart on a return.

Ordered a set with $420.83 location surcharge/delivery to Alaska. If they are not the advertised tire I’m screwed.


Edit: Contacted WalMart, if I get wrong tires they will refund me the location surcharge and tire price.

I envy you guys that can do this. Living in a tiny apartment with a solitary parking spot and no storage makes this impractical for me. Great that you can swap out your sneakers for snow shoes depending on the season, though.

Or down.... West. Although to you everything barring a Finnish village in the dark belt is probably considered "south".

3-peak icon, and chains on top of that in WA.

Crazy that the require chains. When I lived in Tahoe for 20 years if you had 4WD or AWD no chains were needed. I never had any trouble in our SUV or with our Audi Quattros. Of course they would close the roads completely when things got read bad. Here in MN we run snow tires on a couple vehicles and all seasons on the others year round. Our Bronco has Falken Wildpeak AT3W and they’ve been great even when delivery drivers couldn’t get up our driveway last week.

These look so small for 35

Ok..I had to bite also. These Nokian Tyres, Hakkapeliita LT315/70R17 tires are nearly $300.00 a piece everywhere else. I bought 4 from Walmart with free delivery to my house for $450.00. Arrives Dec 2nd . Most likely - too good to be true.
When they arrive, if they aren't the same tires and size as advertised, I'll just refuse the shipment and get my money back. Worth a shot!

Over the last few decades I’ve run just about every winter tire that exists on cars, SUVs and PU.

in my experience in the Northeast US
Blizzaks are the best on ice.
Nokian Haks are a close second.
Michelin, Pirelli, GY, etc. are distant third.

Blizzaks have a lot more squirm, much more pronounced on bigger, heavier vehicles (no real surprise there).
Haks do much better on bigger, heavier vehicles.

I have Blizzaks on my wife’s Edge, daughter‘s CX-30 and dad’s Edge.

I’ve had them (Blizzaks) on my H2 and H3, 1st gen Durango and on my Raptor but switched to the Haks when they became available and was happier with that switch because on these vehicles I felt more response to steering and braking input.
