Okay, the Nokian H maximum sidewall pressure (MSP?) is ... [drum roll]

51psi !!

Coolistic.

On Nokian winter tires: the Hakka 5 is the better snow & ice traction, but it has slightly worse rolling resistance than the Hakka R. My Mom has the Hakka R on her Prius; while my wife has the Hakka 5's on her xD. I concur with Mike on the latter's rolling resistance; it is decent, but not great. I'll try to get a chance to drive my Mom's Prius, to get a better idea of what the Hakka R are like -- I only drove them briefly when they were brand new.

I get the Nokian H tires put on my xA next Thursday!
