nokian snow tire

yuusaku

just wondering is there any place other than kaltire carries nokian tires?
asked them for a quote...$1116 installed  for a set of 205/55/16 Hakka R

so expensive  

had Hakka Q on a civic sir(195/60/15) ~ about 4 to 5 years ago...i remember it was < $800 in total

yes, they are expensive.  However they work quite well last winter for me, and they work fine in the summer.

Nokian is great winter tires. It costs too much money in here as very few places sell them.

At the end, I got myself a set of Blizzak LM-25

Kal Tires are the exclusive Nokian distributor for the West Coast. If you want Nokian, you have to go with them.

Blizzak LM-25 is a performance winter tire, so it gives up some snow/ice/slush traction for more performance in the dry. The Blizzak WS60 and Michelin X-Ice2 will be better with snow/ice/slush, but then the handling and treadwear will be worse.

Nokian winter tire is good .. ( and expensive )

But ..  no need in Van .. they are for really bad and cold winter ..  like northern europe .. ( well, or here! tons of snow here already ...  lol )

I dont care too much about winter tire ...  I think I have tried dunlop, mich, preilli, blizzak .. even cheap cheap one from Can tire .. ( nordic? )  they all work good ..

thx for the inputs guys.

Hakka Q was the first set of winter tires  I had (technically second, because I had a set of Kumho snow tires on an Impreza and totaled the car in a week) , hakkaQ worked really well during my stay in the winter of prince george.

i think i'll go with the michelin x-ice xi2 at costco, since they have the $60 off promotion right now.  205/55/16 @ $182

does costco sell steel rim?

I don't have my invoice with me now, but my X-Ice2 @ 195/55/16 cost me around that much per tire last year as well. They were superb in last year's crazy storms.

個人心得: 15,16 吋 tire, Costco, Walmart 價錢都算幾cheap, 一上稍為高性能 16, 17 吋就好唔掂. 貴過街價.
