Hakkepellita (Nokia) - true snow tires that go by various model numbers over the years (mine are model 09) made to accept studs. Very good tires too. About as good as you can get for ice and snow, but don't run them before it gets cold or after it gets warm or you can watch them go away otherwise they are long wearing (mine are still 50% good after 3 winters of use).
