Nokian Hakkapeliitta Q Snow Tires (195/55/15)
Purchase Location: Big Bear Tire
Cost: $400.00
Purchase Date: November 22, 2000

Since I travel between Wisconsin and Indiana during the winter months a set of snow tires are a necessity. These tires have done a great job of providing traction on snow cover roads. After owning a GS-R for several years I really appreciate the additional traction of the Type R's LSD (limited-slip-differential). Wheel slippage have been dramatically reduced in comparison to the one wheel wonder GS-R with an open differential.

These are wonderful snow tires but when the roads are clear I really miss the stock RE010's. The Hakkapeliitta's have quite a bit of side wall flex. This characteristic of all serious snow tires gives the car a floating feeling when simply changing lanes. Despite this lack of dry pavement precision these Nokian tires provide a quiet and cushioned ride. According to the tread wear ratting they could last up to 35,000 miles.
