Hi, I have the exact same situation.

I removed the studs from some Hakkapeliita winter tires, 205/70 R 14's T
rated,

And I LOVE them, they turned my 85 Weekender into a sports car, and I'm
wondering the same thing.

And..........i think what's going to happen is that they'll wear faster in
the summer than 

a summer M & S tire due to a softer tire compound,

And the may not endure or resist really high temperatures also, like I can't
imagine that they would be as safe on a 95 degree day at 75 mph, as a summer
all around M & S tire would be. .

So I'm keeping an eye out for a deal on the same thing in a regular M & S
tire for the summer. 

And save this set  for next winter too.

Subject: [WetWesties] running Nokian Hakkapeliitta CS Tires all year??

 

folks, i got a good deal on a set of Nokian
Hakkapeliitta CS Tires. these are mostly snow and ice
sort of shoes. How are they in the normal climate too?
Should i get another set of normal tires for normal
road conditions? Or just run'em all year?

thanks
matt
