UK Nokian tyre stockists

jon208

I'm after a pair of studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta W240s for my CX bike but they seem to be (probably understandably) rare in the UK.

Anyone know of a UK stockist?

The size/weight would make shipping from the US an expensive option.

suomi tyres doesn't have a uk distributor

you could try one of their european ones, like the swiss one http://www.felix.ch/shop/list.php?search=spikes also http://www.tunds.com/ does them germany

bear in mind these are distributors, they may not sell to the public let alone outside their areas, but even if they won't sell direct, they might be able to point you at a retailer willing to do it

you'll find others listed on suomi's website http://www.suomityres.fi/distributors.html

OK Thanks. Might have to go without as importing is looking expensive.

Shouldn't be from a European supplier - I got a Schwalbe Marathon Winter from a German supplier - postage was 6 euros. The tyre was substantially cheaper than any UK price I'd seen for it as well.

europe is ok, no tax issues, postage usually only a few euros, i've bought a few things from germany, always had excellent service and fast delivery

here's a couple of places that do the w240..

...but both are out of stock, might be worth browsing their other tyres to see what else might do

if you just want some studded tyres, there are others available in uk...

I'm waiting on a pair of Marathon Winter studded tyres too, due in 2 weeks - lets hope we get some more snow too!
