Hi,

I've got to drive my 245 this winter, although I'd rather spare it. I was thinking of Blizzaks, but then saw the Hakka ad in Rolling.

I live in PA, where I might need to drive on dry road for months at a time, or I might have to drive in a foot of snow or on ice for a while. So I'm interested in how they wear and how noisy they are and whether they actually make a difference in the snow. I live at the bottom of a steep, mile-long hill out in the country. Or maybe I should just buy an old Landcruiser? &^)

Thanks

Well, I have a full-sized Old Custom Cruiser Wagon with XTC snowtires (big lugs) I can sell ya'.......

I just bought a pair of Hak's for my '86 244DL sedan. I'll be using the Michelin Artic Alpin XM+S's I bought last year on the front. these are terrible for harvy, wet, fresh snow, hence the change to the Hak's. I figure the engine weight will help out the Mich's so I can steer well enough.

Didn't get the cleats. The Hak's look like they have a lot of small, flexible, well siped lugs. I expect snow traction to be superior to the Michelin's.

I understand they also are long wearing.

Paid $85 a piece at Jack Williams Tire Center (got a free 10# turkey!)
