Default Studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 4

I think I might have a source for the studded Nokian Hakkapelitta 4 in the USA. I wasn't originally planning on replacing my tyres but now I think I will.

My current tyres are studded Hakka 2's and have 2/3rd tread remaining. Curious whether people think that they might be saleable here and if so, what prices people might suggest I ask? They are 4 x 205/55R16.

Default I would be wary of the age of the tires (yrs and mileage). My last set....

of M2's had a lot of highway miles and 3 seasons. The tread was over 50%, but they had lost a lot of they "softness" and as a result had lost their handling advantage.

Default These are studded Hakka 2's ... 10 months old ... and about 4000 miles with some studs missing.

About 2/3rd tread remaining. What can I say? I tend to wear tyres out rather quickly. :-p

10 months old since I bought them. Manufacturered 2003 but I'd have to look at them to see exactly what week they were manufactured.

They are in eastern Connecticut.

Default 2 or 4? ALWAYS DO 4!!

Even in a RWD or FWD car, always do 4 snow tires, same make and brand!
