For any listees in NorCal, who can pick up,

IMO, could be a good deal.

I used the same tires for three winters, before getting Nokian Hakk C2s.  The were being used on a lightly laden, 1991 Syncro L.  The tires are very narrow and performed well in the deepest of snow.  The studs work only when needed and very rarely did they spin.  The van would only see 55mph, conditions permitting, but should cruise around 65.

I have no interest in the auction or tires, just wanted to pass on my findings.
