Has anybody used these tires on their FX? They are one of the best rated ones out on the market right now...
265/45R21 Nokian Hakkapelitta 7's.... Any reviews?

You realize that is a studded tire right? I would probably opt for the R2 instead.
I need tires soon, we do not get that much snow here (more ice than anything) so I am going with an all-season with a bit different size. 275/45-21, Pirelli Scorpion Verde

Much better reviews and treadwear rating than the OEM Bridgestones, I simply hate those tires.....

Also, I live in Northern Alberta, where it is common to run studded tires (not just in my location, but other parts of Canada as well)

I ran the Nokian hakkapalettas years ago on a Maxima and they were a fantastic tire in the ice and snow. They should be a great tire.

Yeah I thought so... Thanks! I ordered a set today from KalTire, excited to try them out!
Let us know how these new ones perform in the adverse conditions.

I'd be very interested in seeing how the 275's look on the 21 inchers. I'm afraid they'll look a bit bulky

It is just 5 extra millimeters on each side. The 9.5 inch OEM wheel will have no problems with that, I think the 265 tires look a bit stretched myself. I have run a 275 tire on a 9 inch wheel before and it looked fine. See below on the rear wheel, 9 inch with 275 wide tire:

Doesn't look bad at all, you're right. Did you get a chance to mount yours yet?
