YAWTQ (yet another winter tire question) I'm trying to decide between 1's and Q's for 195/65-R15 setup. I expect to be using them around Southern Ontario, not always a major amount of snow, but a combination of snow, ice, slush, dry (if you call salted roads dry). Occasional forays up through the snow belt to ski (4-5 times a season). High speed ratings are not a big issue, I don't _usually_ go above 140 kph even in the summer.

I've searched the archives here repeatedly, searched yahoo, hit the nokian web site, etc. etc. I'm suffering from serious data overload, but without any clear idea of which one to go with. Any ideas/comments?

I had emailed Nokian for the location of a dealer near me (San Francisco) that sold Hakka 1's. They recommended, if you were not going to get the studded tires, to get the Hakka Q. I'll be interested to see if any others here have used the Q's.
