    New winter Haak's (r)with 500 miles on them. Car started pulling to right. After two days at dealer figured out that front right Haak had thrown a belt. Got them from tiresbyweb.com. and no response from Customer service yet. This happened to me once before on a high end Yoko. Paying top $ is not always the best way to go.

    Not good at all -- And I WAS considering them (based on comments here) I'll pass for now. Let us know if they (tiresbyweb) stand behind them or give you nothing but a "runaround".

    That's why I get my tires from ATC. I can go right down to the store & have them fix it & they always beat any price I find from anywhere.

    Jack called and said to check seal on rim that Haak's are prone to have exact rim fit or issues arise. He will send a replacement if that does not fix issue. Thumbs up for Nokian and Tires by web!
