Couple reasons: inexpensive, long tread life, good performance for a winter tire.

I also looked at Kumhos -- KW17s and KW19s -- both nice tires but the Hankooks were about $20 cheaper per tire.

I will post some pics in the next few days.

Can you give me Nokian Hakka 2s for $109 per tire? Somehow I doubt it.

I wanted the best winter tires for less than $500 -- not realistic in the Nokian world. Hell my DH mountain bike tires are Nokian Gazzalodis and they were $100 each.
