Nokian Tire Question: Q, WR, Hakka?
Still waiting for my M3 Sports to come off backorder, I am beginning to give up hope and look for other tires.
Nokian appears to be the next inline, some would say even better. Living just north of Boston, I will be driving on snow and dry pavement and going skiing in VT and NH on the weekends.
Can someone please tell me the diff. in quality of these tires (these are just models I have collected off of other posts, for all I know some of them may be older models).
I plan on buying something with ratings around that of the M3- H rated, great on dry, great on snow, no studs, same wear, load ratings, etc. THANKS!!!

I'll narrow it down for ya...
The only H-rated winter (all-weather really) Nokian would be the WR. It may not be as good in the snow as the dedicated winter Nokians (the Hakkas), but it will be much better in the dry, and you could even run it all year long if you wanted to. My guess is the WR would be pretty similar to Dunlop M2/M3 overall.

jprice, do you have any affiliation w/ Nokian? If not, you should :)
Before a debate starts on the LM22, IIRC, they dont make em in anything around a 205/60/15, so it isnt really something I can consider. Thanks though.

Have a look here.
When the first "Noreaster"blows through you'll be impressed with these.Yokohama needs to do some marketing.No one seems to know about these fantastic tires.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/reviews/wheels/wheels14.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/reviews/wheels/wheels14.shtml</a</li></ul>
