I've heard about the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R LRR snow tires, and while they are the lowest RR tire in the Nokian catalog, they're not the lowest RR tire on the market. AFAIK, that's still the 11 year old Insight tire. Anyway, this might be the last season I get out of my MZ-02's, and if so, I'll get a set of LRR snow tires next October.

Most days, neither do we.
But this is what happens when you live on the leeward side of one of the Great Lakes. It's occasionally expensive and inconvenient, but if this is the closest we get to "extreme weather", I'll take it.
On my way in to work, it felt like I was driving with the brakes on. It felt like a "normal" car, as Basjoos might say. But I did some 4th gear lean burn where I would normally do 5th gear, drove slowly because of the weather, and managed to get the same mileage as I usually do on the commute.
