[V8] snow tire time...

[Ed Kellock]

I don't think there is any such thing as a reasonable price for Nokians.

Last year I ran a set of Hankook iPike W409 which look a lot like
Nokian RSi, by only completely by accident ;-) and was very happy with
them.  They were half the price of a set of RSi's, and I feel like I
definitely got more than half the value.  We had a couple pretty good
snow storms here last year... people who have lived here longer than
me, 10, 12, 15 years, said it was the worst they'd seen.  I never had
a moment of trouble or uncertainty with the 409's and I don't follow
the "go slow, slow down, just drive slow" BS that the local media
tries to brainwash everyone with.

I know there's a new Blizzak and another Michelin, and I'm very interested in Nokians.? Anyone got a reasonably priced source for Nokians?? I've seen good reviews for them in rain as well which is encouraging since my northeastern experiences have had way more rain and slush/ice lately than snow.? Arctic Alpins were not great for me - better on dry, not very good on snow or wet.? Eagle HP was better in wet and ok on snow.? Blizzak WS-50 has been very good on snow/ice/slush, decent on wet, squirmy on dry.? I'm not looking for a 'performance' tire but a good winter season tire.
