Blizzaks are great but alas not close to what Nokian delivers, especially studded. I see that all winter. The wife has the Hakka studded on ther Macan and I have the Michelin Alpin... reason I take my Touareg out in snow deeper than 2 inches cause the Alpins just don't measure up. I've got non studded Nokian on the Touareg. Wonder how he connected the roof light bar...

Sometimes spring road trips have surprises.

11,000'. Snow packed, fresh snow, and intermittent white out conditions.

This car handles it all so well. Snow driving is fun. Only stress is the other people around me who don’t know how to drive.

A dirty 911 is a happy 911

Do you think the non-studded Nokian is as good? Thanks for the feedback.

I have both studded and non studded Nokian on the 2020 Macan S and 2008 V8 Touareg and can evaluate both of them as well as the Michelin Alpin in the 992. If you can't use studded tires, I would recommend the Nokian Hakkas (non studded) or Blizzaks as second choice IMHO. Michelin are distant third, alas when I needed winter tires Nokian were not available in that tire size (20/21).

Safe travels,
