[s-cars] Snow Tires

[Ian Duff]

So, with all the snow conversation, help me understand the value of  
Nokian. I have Hakkapeliitta R on my '04 Jetta on dedicated winter  
wheels, and love them. We have a set of dedicated wheels for snows for  
my wife's '09 Jetta, and I'm shopping for snows to mount for her.  
We're in Massachusetts, and drive mostly on plowed or dry roads  
(probably 90% of the time or more), but have the occasional blizzard  
thru which we need to drive.

The Hakka R's in the correct 205/55-16 size are $169 each, from TiresByWeb.com 
. There's a seemingly decent Continental ExtremeWinterContact at  
TireRack for $90 each, and another also seemingly decent Dunlop SP  
Winter Sport 3D for $98 each. I had the predecessor to the Dunlops on  
my old '00 S4tt, and found them decent. The Hakkas on my Jetta are  
superb, but are they really worth that much more than Contis or Dunlops?

Best regards, Meilleures salutations, 此致敬礼, Mit freundlichen  
Grüßen,
   Con i migliori saluti, مع أطيب التحيات, Cordiales  
saludos, के साथ सबसे अच्छा संबंध  
है,
   A mais melhor consideraçāo, によろしく

-Ian.
