Yeah, ok, I used a big word here. Hakkapeliitta's are a Nokian made tire from Sweden. They are the best snow/mud/rain tire I have ever seen. They are standard equipment on all Police, Fire, Rescue vehicles in Europe and now standard on Porsche's, and BMW's.
I have a set on my 2001 Dakota and have never had a problem with winter traction. They are only slightly more expensive than a Pirrelli or Michelin. In case you are interested, I am a Hobbyist Dealer for these tires and if you are interested, please contact me off the bulletin board through my email and I would be happy to explain all the features and costs.
