Re: Favorite Winter Tires????

You might want to take a look at Nokian Hakkepelita NRW-H Tires.  If you
have 14 inch rims, they come in a 185/60-HR14 size.  I have them on my car
and they are incredible.  They handle better in snow than many of the
regular snow tires I have had and they are almost as good handling tires as
my old Michelin XGT's in the dry.  I haven't found a better tire yet.  They
ain't cheap, but they have a 50,000 mile treadlife warranty.  Gotta love
those Finnish people, they know how to make a tire.
