Any link to the tire and specs? Nokian is a Finnish based tire (tyre) company. In 2007 North America sales was around 7% of the company's total worldwide tire sales.

Who did you purchase them through? None of the big tire companies like Discount Tire or Tire Rack sell them so I can't tell or make a comparison against other brand tires other than they are basically all-season touring radials.

What is the UTQG rating - treadwear, traction and temperature?

The ratings are good, especially the tire wear rating.

Asking the question whether they are good after purchase is really a moot issue. From the looks of them they don't look bad to me but I don't have any experience with them to make a fair comment about the performance or longevity. Also, keep in mind they are all season which may not be a bad idea depending on what part of the country you live in and the weather conditions.

I don't like the tires, I drove about 50 miles on them today round trip. I don't think they grip the road well and when turning they feel wierd. Is there a "break in" period for new tires?

just wait till you get a good rain...by looking at the tread, i think you're gonna be running to get new tires
