What are the best studless winter tyres for 2026/2027, and which model should you choose for Estonia's unpredictable winter conditions? TyreRanker, a platform that combines results from various tyre tests, has compiled a ranking of Nordic studless winter tyres based on multiple independent comparisons. The top five include Goodyear, Pirelli, Continental, Nordman and Michelin.

One model that stands out is the Pirelli Ice Friction, which finished second overall and achieved the highest snow performance score among the top five tyres, earning 98 points out of 100. We take a closer look at which tyres have performed best in recent tests, how they differ from one another and what to consider when choosing the most suitable studless winter tyres for your car.

Since 15 October, studded tyres have officially been permitted in Estonia, although autumn weather may not yet feel particularly wintry. While temperatures are expected to remain mostly above freezing during the second half of October, the first overnight frosts and slippery mornings can arrive unexpectedly. That is why it is worth planning your winter tyre change before temperatures drop sharply and tyre workshops enter their annual peak season.

Tyre changes in Tallinn become particularly popular just before the first snowfall, when many drivers start searching for available appointments at the same time. By planning ahead, you can avoid long queues, choose a more convenient appointment and check whether your existing winter tyres are still suitable for another season. It is also worth remembering that although winter tyres only become mandatory on 1 December, the right time to change your tyres depends primarily on weather and road conditions.

Rehvid Pluss offers tyre fitting in Tallinn at its Mustamäe workshop, as well as at the Peetri workshop just outside the city. Both locations allow drivers to change their tyres before the seasonal rush and receive professional advice when needed. Read on to find out when to switch to winter tyres, what to check before the colder weather arrives and how to find a convenient tyre change appointment.

If you use studless winter tyres, changing before the peak season can help you avoid queues, secure a convenient appointment and potentially save money.

Consider making the switch when temperatures regularly approach +7°C and overnight frosts become common. Planning ahead also gives you a wider selection of new winter tyres and time to check your existing set.

Choose Nordic studless winter tyres designed to provide grip in cold, snowy and icy conditions. That way, you can face the first slippery mornings without scrambling for a last-minute appointment.

For the 2026 winter season, Nokian Tyres has launched a new generation of studded winter tyre — the Nokian Hakkapeliitta 01.

It replaces the Hakkapeliitta 10, but this is more than a routine model update. The most interesting part of the new tyre is the way the studs are designed to react to changing winter conditions.

That makes a lot of sense in Estonia, where winter roads can change quickly from ice and snow to wet or even dry asphalt.

Landsail winter tyre range expands with three new models

Landsail is preparing to expand its winter tyre range with three new models. The additions include the Polar Dragon Soft, a Nordic studless tyre; the IceDragon, a studded passenger-car tyre; and the IceDragon Van, developed for vans and light commercial vehicles.

Together, the three models cover the main winter tyre needs of Nordic drivers: a studless passenger-car tyre, a studded passenger-car tyre with 24 stud contact rows, and a reinforced studded tyre for commercial vans. All three models have been developed for cold, snowy and icy road conditions.

Landsail IceDragon Van – a new studded tyre built for everyday commercial use

A van’s working day does not depend on whether the roads are dry, snowy or covered with ice. Its tyres must cope with the weight of the vehicle and its cargo, manage frequent stopping and starting, and maintain grip across a wide range of winter surfaces.

To meet these demands, Landsail has developed the IceDragon Van, a new studded tyre for vans and light commercial vehicles. The model will soon join the Rehvid Pluss winter tyre range.

Although its name links it to the passenger-car IceDragon, the Van is not simply a larger version of the same tyre. It has its own tread design and a reinforced construction developed around the higher weight and load requirements of commercial vehicles.

Coming soon: Landsail IceDragon – a 24-row studded tyre for Nordic winters

A new passenger-car studded tyre is joining the Landsail winter tyre range. The IceDragon has been developed for demanding Nordic winter conditions, with a strong focus on dependable ice grip.

Its key feature is a stud layout that creates 24 separate contact rows across the tread. Combined with dense wave-shaped siping and a directional V-shaped pattern, this gives the tyre the tools needed for ice, packed snow, loose snow and slush.

New Landsail PolarDragon Soft – a Nordic studless winter tyre for ice and snow

Landsail is expanding its winter tyre range with the new PolarDragon Soft. This Nordic studless winter tyre has been developed for low temperatures and demanding winter roads, combining a flexible rubber compound with dense siping and a directional tread pattern.

The word “Soft” in the model name reflects the tyre’s softer winter compound. It is designed to remain flexible in freezing temperatures, allowing the tread to adapt more effectively to the road surface and create additional biting edges on snow and ice.

August is here, and September is just around the corner.

The approach of fall brings cooler weather, shorter days, and more frequent rain showers. Wet road surfaces mean longer stopping distances and a greater risk of hydroplaning. That’s why now is the perfect time to check the condition of your car’s tires, especially their tread depth. 

If you're unsure about the condition of your tires, visit Rehvid Pluss for a FREE tire inspection. Our specialists will assess your tires and let you know whether they're still safe to drive on or if it's time for a replacement.

Although the law allows driving with a minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm, tire tests conducted by ADAC, one of Europe’s best-known automobile clubs, show that tire grip on wet roads starts to deteriorate well before reaching this limit. For this reason, many tire manufacturers and experts recommend replacing summer tires when the tread depth reaches approximately 3 mm.

The spring tire-change season has now come to an end, making it a good time to review which summer tires drivers preferred most in 2026.

While the 2025 sales charts were largely dominated by Pirelli, Landsail, and Rotalla, this year brought several strong new contenders into the rankings. Customers are becoming increasingly informed in their purchasing decisions, and in addition to well-known premium brands, more drivers are choosing high-quality options from the mid-range and budget segments.

This year saw particularly strong competition from Toyo, Kumho, and Three-A, while Pirelli managed to maintain its leading position.

Pirelli introduces the third generation of its legendary Scorpion tire series – the new Scorpion (S3) model, designed specifically for modern SUVs and crossovers.

This is a summer tire developed with a focus on safety, comfort, and long-term performance.

Every spring, drivers ask the same question: when is the right time to switch from winter tires to summer tires? The answer depends not only on the calendar. Both legal requirements and actual weather conditions play an important role.

What Does the Law Say?

In Estonia, the use of winter tires is mandatory from December 1 to March 1. Studded tires are allowed from October 1 to March 31.

If weather conditions require it, studded tires may be used until April 30.This means that, according to the law, summer tires can technically be installed already at the beginning of March. However, in practice this is not always the most sensible decision.

Rehvid Pluss has added a new and rapidly growing tyre brand – Atlander. This international manufacturer focuses on winter and studded tyres tested in Nordic conditions, combining high quality with an affordable price.

Atlander has introduced two completely new Nordic studded models – Lander Studs ATL77 and ATL78. Both were developed in cooperation with Finnish engineers and tested in Finland’s harsh winter conditions to ensure reliable grip on ice, snow, and slush. The tyres are TRAFICOM approved, confirming their safety and suitability for Northern climates.

Winter doesn’t give up – and neither should your choice of winter tyres. Kumho introduces its latest models: the studded WinterCraft Ice Wi32 and the friction-type WinterCraft Ice Wi51, both designed specifically for the demanding winters of the North.

Independently tested in Finland and Sweden, these tyres offer proven grip, confident handling, and pricing up to 25% lower than Hankook – without compromising on safety or quality.

Pirelli has launched the all-new studless winter tyre ICE FRICTION™, designed specifically for the harsh Nordic climate. The tyre combines top-level safety, best aquaplaning resistance, excellent grip on ice and snow, and surprising driving comfort. ICE FRICTION raises the bar both for conventional drivers and EV owners.

Imagine this: you're driving on the highway at 80 km/h, it's raining, and the car in front of you suddenly brakes. You hit the brakes. If your car is equipped with new premium tires, you'll likely stop in time. But what if your tires are worn—or worse, cheap? You might continue driving for dozens of meters. Possibly straight into an accident.

This isn’t journalistic exaggeration—it’s fact. Tire tests by ADAC, AutoBild, and the German Technical Inspection Association (GTÜ) show shocking differences that don’t become visible until it’s too late.

The summer tire season is in full swing – it’s time to take a look at which tire brands and models are dominating sales in 2025.
