Hi all, first post!
I've got a '22 Buick Encore AWD that I'm looking for winter tires for... I live in the Hamilton area of Ontario, Canada but travel out of the suburbs to various work locations and ice fishing etc.
I've narrowed the range to 3 tires; Cooper Evolution Winter, Hercules Avalanche RT, and Nordman North 9; in 215/70r16 size. All are very similar installed price (rebates start Oct1 for the Cooper and Hercs).
Any chance anyone has used two of these models and can make a direct comparison? I am assuming the Evolution and Avalanche would be similar but what about the Nordman 9 (same pattern as Hakka 9, but is it same compound etc?)? Its difficult to find any direct comparisons online for these models..
Thanks for your help!
