Hakapleta… or how ever the hell you spell it. $109-$140 depending on your wheelin N dealin skills and location. These things are silica based, and so dam soft you can press a penny into the thread past lincon’s head. Yet have great wear life. My father has them on his FX35, and its a tank. On the mini van too, and that FWD thing goes like a mofo. I got them on my old subaru and it is like a snowmobil. Also all the work trucks, F250 SD’s 2wd, 2 wd ranger, econovan 250… and the rest have them for winter too. In the last few years he has gotten around 180 of these tires for different cars for the family and the bussiness and friends. They are the best out there. ---

Unless that tire comes with the new technology called Momentum, shit aint going through it. lol Everyone should just run big balloon tires air’d down to 8 psi like you do in sand dunes! That is the fresh snow ticket! ---
