i’ve always thought Nokians were the best… i’ve driven on alot and any major brand that has been around a while all feel pretty similar. It isn’t like you’re tracking them, they just need to cut through the snow effectively 15 times a year and thats it ---

I think I’ll switch to Hakkas this year after hearing all the hype. I’ve ran Blizzaks in the past so I’ll have something good to compare them to. ---

Just wondering where everyone gets there Hakkas? I have done a little searching and this is the cheapest for my tire size I could come up with online. [http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?dsco=135&Cookie=pricegrabber\_Nokian&details=Ordern&typ=R-114825&ranzahl=4&nichtweiter=1](http://ssl.delti.com/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?dsco=135&Cookie=pricegrabber_Nokian&details=Ordern&typ=R-114825&ranzahl=4&nichtweiter=1) Last season is the first time I even heard of these tires and thats just from being on this forum so I wouldn’t know what I would expect as far as pricing goes for local stores. I imagine online is a tad cheaper. ---
