after weeks of second guessing my snow tire purchase (with the spring-like weather here in TO), well, the first big snow storm hit Toronto today and all i have to say is that the Nokian Hakka1 is the best "mod" this winter ...money well spent!

they grip the snow/ice/road combo like if it's dry pavement so stopping and starting are phenomenal ... mind you i don't have any other snow tire to compare it to but i'd definitely recommend them over the stock tires

kinda felt sorry for a car full of girls in a Lexus IS300 with stock 17" tires stuck in the middle of a hill on Brimley Ave near Scarborough Town Centre

okay, i'm off my soapbox now ...just wanted to share

cheers

Hey ... Where and How much did you get them for????

I'm looking for a Set of Tires Myself.

What Size did you get as well??

You didn't stop and help a car full of women? What's up with that?
Seriously, what size tire do you have?

i was waiting for someone to say this ... i was in the outer lane and there were other cars to the right of me .. plus i didn't see that they were girls until i damn near passed them and the driver rolled down her window

on the serious side, i've got 205/65/15s on steelies ...the rims just barely clear the caliper on the front but there's still enough room

cheers
