Where the bloody hell do you get Nokian hakka r2's?

I only see them "call for details" from obscure dealers with no price listed here in Wisconsin at least.

Even discount tire lists them that way.

Bleh.

No but tires that are moderately close in size (pmetric) can be had that are LRRish.

Question is if its on what I think its on the load rating is probably very important over LRR, although you may get away with LRR on the front like i did with my suburban.

I did google and got all sorts of places that were out of stock or call to order with no price.

Holy crap batman those are pricey, and no mile wear warranty either, I remember the $35 fleet farm desert dog winter tires we had on the suburban that lasted 12 years, I doubt these will survive like those

Nokians are great tires. Unfortunately, they are significantly more expensive than other options and Nokian has a very poor distribution network in the USA

Their price often makes them not a viable option for most. I like to run good snow tires, but when I can bank $400 for a set of tires ...
