Is anyone running Nokian WR's?

[Baba Booey]

I am/have used Nokian snow tires on other vehicles that I own, and I am extremely happy with them. Has anyone used the Nokian WR on a 4Runner? It is a high-end "all-weather" tire from Finland, which Nokian claims is an all-season tire that meets the severe snow requirements.

I have seen reviews of them in write-ups and by users in other forums, and the feedback has been very positive.

The following link shows that they are available in my OEM size 265/65/17 (XL = extra load - sort of in between a "P" and "LT"). Any thoughts?

They look interesting. I'm sure they're great all-weather tires if they were made in Finland. Wish they offered white outline letters on the 4 season tires...I wonder how much?

The "how much" is the problem. The place where I buy most of my tires has the 265/65/17's for $212 with "out-the-door pricing", which includes mounting/balancing, valve stems, disposal fee, etc.

Nokian makes an all-season Vatiiva(sp?) with OWL.

I'm not running the all seasons but I do have the Hakka's. So far they have been excellent in the snow and not bad on the road. No noticeable increase in road noise, which was a real surprise.
