Snow Tires: Common vs. Boutique Brands

The Hak 10 were a good deep snow tire; a bit on the noisy side on dry roads
and not as good a handling on dry roads as the Hak 1.  The Hak 1 has a
higher pinch bead in the sidewall; giving a slightly more ridgid sidewall.
Have not driven the Nordman; but assume them to have most of the Hak 10
properties.  The Nordman does not have Nokian's rubber chemistry; they did
not release that to the Indonesian manufactuer. They came up with sample
tires and checked with Finland if they met the standards.

Perhaps I've mixed up my 1's and 0's. I had thought they were Hakka 1's..
but
I think you may be correct, perhaps they are 10s.
