Carmine has a mix of Nokian tires: WRG 4 and WRG 5, because the "4" is discontinued. Four season tires, no need to change tires winter and summer. Got a flat, need a new tire. Shop put on a Hakkapelitta, which is a winter tire. Manager says it is basically the same, has a bit more rubber, no need to change it for summer. The WRG 5 no longer comes in my size of 185, only comes in a 195 which is a larger tire. He says if I want something else, he will swap it for me. Now Carmine has one WRG4, two WRG 5, and one Hakkapelitta. These are all LRR - low rolling resistance. Northeastern MA. Thoughts?
Ahahaa, no no no. I do not have ANY 195 tires. It is because the WRG 5 is now only available in the 195 size that he switched to the Hakkapelitta. All 4 tires are 185 size.
