just paid $128 each for 4  185R 14 Hakkapeliitta C ... $80 a pop sounds
better... but will they hold up for 2 or 3 winters ( its getting harder and
harder to find decent 14" tires, Had to ship the Nokians from the West
Coast  ughh! another 100 smackers!  (as of this morning there are 4 more
Hakkas left in Santa Cruz)
