I never thought I'd be the initiator of a tire thread.  (I promise I have
spent time reading previous threads for information before sending this).

One of our Nokian Hakka C2 tires just failed and is unrepairable.

I always figured when the time came I would replace them with the Hakka CS
tires.  (We have been on a summer/winter switch over system which I have
grown tired of).  But now it seems the CS tires are discontinued and
unavailable.

My goals are:
real winter performance (severe service emblem)
good for year round use (long tread life).  Ideally, not as loud us the
C2's.
fits my factory steel wheels and has the load rating necessary for a very
stable ride.

Is my only option to run Hakka C's year round?  Or is there some other
option I have overlooked?
