Need to buy their shares

We had their Hakkapeliitta 4 studded tires on the old car but I haven't yet checked what we got with our current Golf 1.2 TSI.

The new Hakkapeliitta 7's have got stellar reviews in the nordic tests for this winter (there's an annual test that the countries do together), but their tires have been at the top three or so pretty much all the time. Very popular in Russia, they even have a big factory there. The winter tires for central Europe are just piece of crap in our weather, had them for one winter and it was better to take the bus instead.

They also make summer tires but I'm not familiar with them.

Nokian Tires used to be part of the Nokia known today as the mobile phone company but they split back in 1988.

I love em.....you guys over there know how to make a tire...without a doubt its the quietest SUV tire I have ever had..no hum or whine whatsoever...we got 60 thousand miles out of the last set and thats beating them up pretty good..for one we live on a private unpaved road..and now they are on both Subarus
