I'd recommend the Hakkapeliitta C2, CQ or CS, I have the C2's (studdable ... I use w/o studs). Noise is noticeable but AFAIC not loud or ridiculous. They are a "tready" tire, work super in snow and offroad and I'm getting good wear from them ... about 10K mi. now and they look almost new. Oh, I have the 215/65-16 wheels/tires. Very stable laterally.

click on "more" when you get there to get a great size/spec breakdown for each tire.

'87 Syncro Westy> I'm looking at Nokian. Studs are illegal in Wisconsin. What model Nokian can I drive year round? I am concerned with the noise--I don't mind a little, but don't want to sound like a mud-runner truck going down the road.> > Thanks;> Chris C> 90 MV
