snapshot for EV winter tyres in the Nordics (2024/25). I’ve split it by studded vs. studless (Nordic friction) and pointed to EV-specific variants where it matters.
Studded (Nordic)
- Nokian Hakkapeliitta 10 — Testvinnare (choose Hakkapeliitta 10 EV for EVs: acoustic foam + higher load ratings). (Vi Bilägare)
- Strong runners-up in tests: Bridgestone Spike 3, Michelin X-Ice North 4, Goodyear UltraGrip Arctic 2, Continental IceContact 3. (Vi Bilägare)
Studless / “Friction” (Nordic)
- Goodyear UltraGrip Ice 3 — Testvinnare (best overall in Vi Bilägare/NAF 225/45 R17). (Vi Bilägare)
- Next best: Continental VikingContact 8, Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 (pick R5 EV on heavier EVs), then Michelin X-Ice Snow (also available in an EV version). (Vi Bilägare)
Quick EV tips (so you pick the right spec)
- Prefer EV-labelled versions (e.g., Nokian 10 EV / R5 EV) for higher load ratings and lower cabin noise; they’re built for EV weight/torque. (Nokian Tyres)
- If you drive mostly in city + slush, good Nordic friction tyres are usually the better everyday choice; go studded if you regularly face ice/packed snow. (auto motor & sport)
