Time for snow tires for my E. I've read up on here and heard quite a bit about Nokian Haakapiliita (sp?) but nothing about the Nokian Nordman. I went to my local tire shop and the spoke to the manager. He recommended I buy the Nordman 2.

Anyone have information or comments on this particular tire? He has quoted me $89/ea.

Thanks

I believe the Nordman actually have replaced the Hakkapelitta's.But i may be totally wrong.Nokians are fantastic in the snow.I had the Hakka's on my 98 CRV and they almost dared you to try and get stuck in the snow.They are a little louder and rougher ride than the Michelins but nonetheless good snow tires.

We gave me quote for the Hakkapeliita also, so I'm not sure if the Nordman is a replacement for that ....I told him that I wanted the best tires for my situation (type of winter weather and the amount I'll be driving).

My wife and I just got back from Ottawa and we drove through Vermont and stayed in Montpelier, wow you really need snow tires with the hills you have to drive on. That's a good price for the Nordman but I though they were made for smaller vehicle than the E. Any Nokian winter will do a good job, the Akka SUV is around 128.00 in Bangor Maine.

I had the Nordman 2 tires put on my E on Friday and wouldn't you know that it's be 50 degrees or higher every day since. They said it'll get up to 60 this week. I live in Vermont, not Florida!!!!! I want snow and I want it NOW!!!

They sure are NOISY!!!!

I'm using Nokian WR-SUVs, the all-season tires, on my E. I was afraid that I'd really want some snow tires, or at least studs, since I go up to the mountains a lot here in Oregon.

I had no trouble at all in 1.5 feet of snow up on Bachelor yesterday, however. I think the Nordmans might be overkill, at least in this area.

I had an accident last winter so overkill is ok with me. I'd rather be over-prepared than under-prepared.

I'll be driving to the mountains to ride every weekend and the roads can get gnarly.
