    I'm thinking of getting Nokian tires to replace my OEM tires and wonder how much of a milage hit if any on these tires?

    It depends on which model of Nokian tire. Several of them are LRR (including the WR and WRg2 ... there are others as well, but not all) and will noticeably IMPROVE your MPG in the winter.

    I have the WR2's and it didn't decrease my mileage at all. These are amazing tires!
