So I'm looking at winter tires for my 2008 Versa. The last couple winters I haven't driven it much as with the stock conti's it SUCKED. I have been driving my parents Subaru Outback with Hakkapelliita R snow tires. It has been awesome. This year I decided I should get my own set of tires, and the Hakka's are a bit out of my range.

I called a tire shop and told them my range and they said the best tire in that range is the Falken EuroWinter tire. http://www.falkentire.com/Tires/Eurowinter-HS-439-5
Has anyone had any real world experience with these tires?

I have Goodyear Nordic from crappy tire on a old set of 240 wheels and they rock! I put them on last winter and I'm very impressed for a cheaper tire.

I have Hankooks / Sacchi rims from Canadian Tire also ... Third winter season running these, and they work great. Winter tires make the world of a difference for winter driving conditions!

Here's mine:
