Nokians are equal to Michelins... FACT
I believe Nokian and "Vativa" are the same tire, made in Finland. I have run them exclusively for the last 20 years and absolutely love them. I will continue to buy them until I can't get them anymore. The wear great, ride great, are excellent in Minnesota winters and were considerably less than the other brands mentioned. My dealer turned me onto these years ago and he still runs them himself. Seriously, give them a hard look.
