Thanks for the tips everyone. My pal owes me some $ and this is a way to
be repaid: buy his tires for cheap. : ) These are fresh tires but
probably 5-10 years, so probably not either of the current models. I've
been hearing about his Hakki's in storage for YEARS now. He's a high-end
mechanic. We're on tight budget but our Volvo can't get out of the
driveway as it is. I think I'll spring for these. My wife won't
complain about the purchase when she gets good traction. : ) And I
swear that even tho I'm the only skier around here that I'll feel cooler
runnin' Hakki's. --JP

WR - the only true "all season" tire. This tire passes the "Severe
Service" test for winter tires- so it can be classified as a winter
tire, although Nokian markets it as a year round use tire. The WR works
better in the winter than any other "all season" tire. It is on par
with most other manufacturers "snow tires" in snow and on ice. They are
a great rain tire. They are a good choice if you have a front wheel or
4- wheel drive vehicle and don't want to change your tires each season.
They are marketed as 50,000 mile tires, but I seem to see more like
40,000.

I bought Nokian WR this winter and they are perfect. Here in the Netherlands
they're sold as 'central Europian winter tyres' and not as all seasons
tyres. They're absolutely the best on wet roads (that what we have the most
in winter), but the other Nokian tyres perform better on snow and ice (maybe
better in those beautiful areas where you can ski). At least that was the
result from a Norwegian test that I found. By the end of march I'll change
to my good old summer tyres again, because I don't believe in all season
tyres.
