Replying to: qqqq (Oct 07, 2006 7:24 am) Nokian is hard to find in the US and I cannot find the exact size for the HH: 225/65-17. They do have 235/65-17 that supposedly will fit the HH. A tight fit for the rear wheel well but should do OK. Please let us know what you decide to buy.

Replying to: cdptrap (Oct 07, 2006 4:17 pm) I mounted this size in the Nokian WR (winter rated all season), and they are fine. I have the nav system so had to do a recalibration per the manual.

Replying to: cdptrap (Oct 07, 2006 5:32 pm) Don't know, first hand , yet. Canadian Driver rates them very well, in this regard. Of course, dedicated snow tires would be better, but by all reports, these do very well. I have 10k miles on them so far,and no apparant wear. I'm in the mtns of w. NC, so we get a fair amount of snow. This winter will tell the tale.

Replying to: kullenberg (Oct 08, 2006 4:18 am) I am unsure about a bigger tire as last winter the rear wheel wells were getting packed with snow in several snow storms here. I am worried about that causing problems, however, availability of 225 65 R17 tires seems to be low.

Replying to: qqqq (Oct 08, 2006 6:10 am) This a useful tire size comparison calculator. As to a European tire mfg making winter tires,; many serious winter tires are sourced from Europe. Nokians are from Finland, and the Finns certainly know about winter. |

Replying to: qqqq (Oct 08, 2006 6:10 am) We are narrowing it all down to Hakka SUV and WR SUV, now we just need to decide on wheels, something simple and strong. |

Just a quick reminder to all of us Californian drivers. Regardless of what our car manufacturers say, regardless of what magical snow tires (even studded tires) we all have on our HH, by CA laws, all cars entering chain-control areas MUST carry chains in the trunk ready for use. No chains, no passage. CA DOT GOV site specically points out that there are chain devices for tight clearance vehicles (like the HH). Now back to regularly scheduled Snow Tires programming........
