Nokian Hakka R5 EV
Has anyone run these on the 992? They come in 235/35/20 and 295/30/21 which should be good for the OEM winter wheels.
PA5's are great on a cold dry road, but being a performance winter tire, they have lacked a bit in the snow...looking for more bite in bad weather like I had with Sottozero 3's on my 991.
Thanks!

Just cross posting from the other thread:
I hadn't considered the R5 EV, that's not a bad idea. According to tire review (appears sourced by Nokian directly), the R5 EV "[adds] a layer of acoustic foam on the inner liner of the tire" and "comes with a stronger structure and reinforced tread profile with an additional amount of rubber to withstand high torque and high wheel loads". ... it looks to be a slightly different tire, but ultimately the same tread pattern. And hey, it being meant for the increased torque of an EV, probably isn't necessarily a bad thing for our cars.

The Nokian are snow tires and while Nokian has come a LONG way in the dry/wet cold - they won't out perform the PA5 there. But they will crush it in the snow.
Just my thinking
