Good to know. I was wondering if they were Chinese with a European sounding name for marketing purposes.

I put some Hankook IceBears on a few weeks ago. Only had a couple of days of snow so far though and they were magnificent.

the nokian hakkas are loud...the WRs are pretty quiet so far...i use the hakkas on rear wheel drive cars and the WRs on the AWD cars. the WRs are all seasons which are good enouigh to get the snow flake...better than most onther brand of snow tires.
