Playsinsnow said:Excellent choice! You will not be disappointed. Nokian is my first choice for a true "winter" tire. I've had two sets, not that particular model though. Keep your highway speed at the limit when it's dry and they'll last longer. Warm 40*F days haulling down the highway will eat them up. They are designed and tested in Finland.
Edit: as far as sizing goes, unless you drive through any snowfields or snow covered forest trails, go with the wider tire strictly for looks.
I love the Hakk's, don't know much about Nordman (looking into it) and think the WRG2's are nice too with snow symbol that they call an all weather tire which would do much better on Minneapolis high speed dry pavement that I drive a lot of the time in winter. BUT .. I can't for the life of me find any info on stopping time on icy roads and handling Nordman/Hakk/ vs WRG2.
Here's their currently offered lineup that I haven't studied yet.. Spent most of my time trying to get that dang stopping distance test because I really want the WRG2's. If they're just so-so all weather I'd just do another brand and save the money.. SUV / 4x4 - Winter tires
