She maybe right as there are at least 5 different Hakkapiliita tires out there.
Hakkapiliita WR - all season
Hakkapiliita Q - winter
Hakkapiliita 2 - studded winter
Hakkapiliita 4 - studded winter

Don't get the tire model "Hakkapiliita" confused with the manufacturer Nokian.
The HakkapiliitaRSI is there top of the line winter tire and new to us this year.
It took over for the hakkapilitta Q I believe.

Thanks

I got stock 14's for mine. I tried Steelcase, but they were way to busy to answer the phone,
so I went to MTC Tire.
They were $117 each installed + tax.
Quote I got for Blizzaks was $129 installed + tax

Rich got his 15's from Steelcase for $120 each + tax if I remember correctly.

I read a lot on tires before I bought them. One site I liked but it got out of date is http://www.snowtire.info/
2004 Snow Tire Review
they're currently running a 2006 snow tire test.
They're located in Rochester, NY.
