Subject:Re: More on Snow tires: Nokia Hakappelitta 10
Date:Fri, 8 Dec 1995 11:44:26 -0500 (EST)

Hi Tom, et al

I mail order my Hakkas from a place called Greer Enterprises
(414.747.0996) - they just quoted me $89.65/tire including UPS
shipping, but then mounting's gonna be extra.  Around me, I don't
know any Nokia dealers (hadn't looked too hard, tho!).

I've used Hakkas on my Jetta and Integra, and have been real
happy with 'em!  They're also really great on very wet roads.

Good luck in the snow, all...
