Is this an Ioniq 5? If so I am not seeing any manufacturers I know and trust saying 17's are a guaranteed fit. They all list 18 as the minimum.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Thanks, ended up contacting them and they also confirmed they wouldn't actually fit so cancelled the whole order.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Last 3 years is a bit weird with COVID tho. I drove about 30-40% less due to WFH. So current set is lasting longer than normal.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Looks like Blizzak are introducing a Hakka 10/X-Ice North competitor?
https://press.bridgestone-emia.com/b...er-conditions/
Getting a set of Hakka 10's installed early next week.
Damnit, Nokian dealer just said there are no more 255/45/19 Hakka 10 EV sets anywhere in the country but offered the SUV model. What’s different about EV tires? Better rolling resistance?
Yeah lower rolling resistance and maybe quieter is the main things. Though studded tires I doubt are quiet either way. Otherwise the load rating might be a tad higher but sorta irrelevantThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Would like to see 3rd party testing results and other categories from this internal testing, but really impressive ice performance nonetheless.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Everyone always tests the same stuff. I don't care about snow, or wet.
I want to see them tested at -25° on ice.

Still, if you put the snow category at 100%, the all season came in 7th while the Blizzack came in 5th?

The studless winter tires comparison is more relevant to most people looking for winter tires as they are the most common winter tires you will get quoted in Calgary.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I saw a guy driving around a new G wagon with studded tires on the weekend.
Definitely gave me a semi for the sheer DGAF performance that would enable.
