Ordered winter tire package for my 01 Aero Wagon

I checked with Gary at Ronal - he cannot supply the Hakkapeliita Q tires I wanted. These are the latest "studless" tire from Nokian. Some other shops in my area also said that they could not get that tire, only the older Hakka 1. (The Hakka 2 is not available in North America.) I finally called old reliable - my local Discount Tire Store. They located a source for the Hakka Qs, and came within $50 of the total price that Gary quoted me for the same wheels with the Hakka 1 tires.
The Hakka Q is heavily siped like the Arctic Alpin for better grip on ice, but it also has large blocks and a directional tread pattern for better lateral stability. I will post my impressions when I take delivery of the wheels and tires next week and have driven on them for a while.
The link shows pictures of the various Nokian tires.
BTW: I contacted the Volvo dealer, as well as my Saab dealer, about the new Gislaved NordFrost III. Neither had heard of the tire or had any info on when it might be available.
