Decently quiet for studded tires. Great in snow and deep snow, excellent control on ice.

We have used Nokian (Nokia) winter tires for many years on an assortment of vehicles . They have always provided outstanding traction in every possible condition the severe Northeast Winters throw at us. We purchased these Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8 studded tires for our daughter's Volvo S60 AWD. She started her Graduate degree studies at a University in New Hampshire and we wanted to ensure she was always going to have the highest level of safety possible. I don't think I can think of a better safety combination of Volvo and Nokian add the outstanding service and competitive pricing of SIMPLETIRE that makes an unbeatable trinity !!!
