Hakkepellita (Nokia) - true snow tires that go by various model numbers
over the years (mine are model 09) made to accept studs. Very good tires
too. About as good as you can get for ice and snow, but don't run them
before it gets cold or after it gets warm or you can watch them go away
otherwise they are long wearing (mine are still 50% good after 3 winters of
use).
