Nokian Hakkapeliitta q vs. Yokohama Ice Guard

Well, I got 3 of 1 and 4 of the other in my garage, and I'm trying to decide which one to run on the Firebird this winter. Both are 225/60r16's (like I have on it now), both have 75% or better tread on all tires.

I'm leaning towards the Hakka's with maybe one of the Yoko's on the non-power rear wheel (driver side). Anybody dissagree? Would I be better off running the same (yoko's) on all four?

Well, I got mine used from a local... But there are a number of Nokian tire dealers as well. Have you tried their dealer locator?

I choose the Yok's over the nokians, from what I have read and test done by Consumer reports, they stop faster and held corner's better than Nokian
