Re: where to buy Hakkas

["Jouko Haapanen" <joukoh@vtoy.fi>]

I just replaced my wife's Nokia Hakkapeliitta 10's with Nokian 1's
(175/65R14).  All of a sudden the car is bearable to drive on dry/wet
pavement again.  The snow traction on 1's is as good as the ancient 10's. 
The 10 all of a sudden, since introduction of the 1 here 12 months ago,
seems like it belongs to a museum...
