What is the best studless or whit stud for a impreza 05 , i do a lot driving in winter up north ( canada ) lot of snow and ice
For mainly ice without studs : Nokian RSI
For mainly snow : Nokian Hakkapeliitta 1 (renamed Nordman 1 ?)
For deep snow and ice : Nokian Hakkapeliitta 1 with studs
For everything : Nokain Hakkapeliitta 2 with studs
Hopefully one day we'll be able to get the Hakkapeliitta 4 with diamond studs.

I second what Paul said. I put Nokian RSI (not cheap, $600+ for 4) on my 2001 Infiniti I30. They did very well in snow and on slippery roads. On dry pavement, they handled better than the OEM all-seasons.

"If you drive more on icy roads than on snowy ones in winter, studded tyres are the choice for you. Studded tyres are especially suitable if you live near the coast, where roads tend to be icy during the winter. Friction tyres are a good choice for snowy roads."

But studs aren't allowed in many indoor parking areas.
I've used Hakkapeliitta 1's with studs up until now and will probably buy them again this year. Kind of embarassing on dry pavement but hard to beat in snow or on ice.
Check out the provincial regulations. I think Quebec allows studs but Ontario does not.
