Just a quick note to make a correction. I was under the impression that the Nokian WR All Weather Plus with the Severe Weather Emblem was no longer on Nokian Tires website. However, it can still be found listed under car tires, and not under van or suv tires. True the Haka CS are of a higher load rating, 100S, but the speed rating is lower. S is just above R, and S is 112 miles per hour. H is 130 miles per hour. Both the WR and the Haka CS are year round and have a severe weather emblem which means legal without snow chains. Some have said that the Haka CS is not the quietest tire. I drove with WR's for the last two years. Noise has never been an issue. I just put a pair of Agilis upfront. But, I think miss the WRs (though in comparing the old WR's to the new Agilis, the Agilis seem stiffer). I got about two years out of the WR's - I probably drive more than some - they were my daily drivers. |
