I am presently shopping for winter tires for a 98 Toyota Sienna(FWD) minivan. I purchased 4 Bridgestone Blizzak MZ-02s' two years ago and although they were great, unfortunately, they did not last. I live in the Ottawa/Hull region and after doing some research have concluded that the Nokian HQ and the Toyo Observe are two very good winter tires. Which one would you choose? or would you choose another brand altogether?

Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

You already had a bad experience with japane-
se winter tires, please don't do it again,
whatever the brand, there about all the same.
Nokian's winter tires are a lot better choice
even with a little premium on the price. It
will last a lot more plus will give you a lot
better snow and slush handling. No possible
comparaison when it comes to compare Nokian
tires to any other!
