Subject:      Nokian snow tires - Perfect for our vans!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Christmas came early for my van this weekend.


I broke down and purchased some wonderful tires
They are made by Nokian Tire company out of Finland


Nokian Tire (not phone) have engineered these tires for a
long time in the perfect winter conditions of Finland.
They make lots of models for cars, vans and trucks.


The one that is perfect for us is the Nokian
Hakkapeliitta 185R14 model C2
Big deep nobbys (studable) but best of all they
are 6 plies and rated with a max load of 1873 lbs at 65psi


I paid (probably too much) 100 US Bucks (not reindeer) each
at the one and only authorized Nokian dealer in Rochester NY.
Craig Autometrics (716) 325-3337


I've only done about 20 miles so far but what a difference with
the support and sure footedness. They do have a small hum that
I need to get used to.


Bring on the snow!  (sorry Alan, but this Syncro Boy is ready)


Joel
89 Syncro Westy
Rochechester NY.
