I’ve always been a big fan of the Nokians, but they seem to be getting harder and harder to find these days. The R3's were some of the best snow tires I’ve ever owned.

I had a guy offer me $20,000 for my 4x2 v10 in the home depot parking lot the other day. Unfortunately it would be tough to find something else with the same towing capacity right now for that money and I do like my Exie, but I can’t say I wasn’t tempted to just return my lumber and walk home with a huge wad of cash… Read more
