Month ago I called Nokian
They said the wra3 in warehouse were likely a couple years old. They said wra3 are rated as all weather despite Nokiantyres.Com stating they are winter tire and not recommended as all year use. The North American Nokiantires.Com site does not even list the wra3. |

I am calling the dealer today to ask if he can get the dates on these tires. I have read a few reviews from people in Europe running the tires year long, but the summer in North America may be warmer than Europe and not sure if these tires can be used all year. Do you have other suggestions for all-season RFT tires? My tire size is 245/50/R18. Thanks. |

I had sets of wrg2/3, loved them. I think I will go with Pirelli Cintuarto p7 when I need to replace the GY's. If I had the wra3 I would use them year round.

Installed RFT hakka r2 directional, 11/32 was my measured thread depth.
Wheels are JWL & TUV certified, features a lip similar to EH2 (on oem wheels) to retain seal when flat. |

Bmw Sells winter tire packages. Prices are reasonable considering that they are balanced & installed and with OEM wheel. They do not sell Hakka. Everywhere else you can buy separately and install yourself. Canada has FTM rather than TPMS. I understand that for TPMS the car has to initialized to receive the reading from each wheel. I bought and installed from my tire guy.

If what you are asking is if you can install the wheels on your own once mounted, then yes, if you at least have a jack, the adapter pad that goes into the jacking point, and appropriate socket wrench. If you have the wheels and tires mounted by a dealer/garage, they can install the TPMS and balance the wheels. Just find a reputable shop some will also do the TPMS reset. BTW, ask about the cost. If you have a shop do the mounting, install on the car should't be much more if anything at all. The TPMS can be reinitialised by you if you want. It is the same procedure as when you put air in the tire. The procedure is in the owner's manual. In mine it is on page 98. Sorry, if I missed your question.
