So I got a flat and destroyed one of my Nokian Hak R2. Better yet, it's not being manufactured anymore. Fantastic, as this means I need to get a pair or a set of new tires.
From my researching, I decided to try some all-weather tires this time around. I prefer to have better rain stability over snow stability since I am afraid of the salt anyway. Got a set of new Michelin Crossclimate +. Will see how it goes.
And if anyone is looking for 3 Nokian Hak R2 in 225/45/R18 size, hit me up. Got them lying around now.
