Just wanted to drop a quick note on snow tires.
I picked up these
Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV
Size: 275/60R-20

These went on a second set of 20" wheels that I had previously. The circumference is about equal to my Platinum's 275/50R22 wheels/tires.

Happy to report that they are super quiet snow tires, and I ended up having almost the same efficiency/mileage that I had with the 22" tires.

Love my Hakkapeliittas! By far the best tire in snow and ice.

I've had studded Hakkapeliittas for years, and they are amazing. Other studded snows have two rows of studs around the out-ish edges of the tires. The Hakka's have big gnarly teeth all over the tire. A few years ago we had a very bad ice storm here. I needed to visit a client who had a 1,000 foot driveway, uphill, completely untreated. I drove straight up without any wheel spin. They are loud, but truly amazing.
