Just a heads up.  For those of you that have been thinking about putting
Nokian tires on your rig, like the Hakapllita CS, the Nokian warehouse in
Colorado says it has a bunch in stock right now.  I point this out because
when I was looking for that tire last December there were none available in
North America, entire yearly allotment sold out.  I got the 185R14s, don't
know about other sizes.
BTW, Discount Tire (local) beat any of the online dealers and another local
dealer by better than $20 a tire on the Nokians.  And their quote on Hankook
RA08s beat what it would have cost to order online, ship, and have mounted.
Plus ordering through them provides their free rotation and repair service
plus the extended road hazard warranty is avialble, not available if you
just bring your tires to them to mount. And the prices included sales tax
and local recycle fees.
