<p>I buy Hakkapeliitta Rs (now Nokian Hakkapelitta) and love, love them. I’ve used them for over fifteen years now. Finnish ice racing tires as i call them… and my old Volvos lovethem, too 
My first Volvo was rear wheel drive and I literally could not make an uphill right turn into my office lot until I bought these. A bunch of car buff engineers pushed me into the lot and told me to go buy a set of rims and these tires ASAP and I did and have never regretted this brand. We also have a 30 degree grade down our driveway up north in Michigan and I had to park at the top of the driveway because I couldn’t climb the hill until I bought the Hakkapelittas. They get my hearty thumbs up.</p>
