The tire/tyre development at Gislaved was shut down and is now done in Germany by designers unable to understand real winter conditions. The top Gislaved designer is now working for Nokian. The Swedish Gislaved factory is shutting down and the tires/tyres are now being manufactured in low wage countries. Many Swedes do no longer buy Gislaved tires/tyres. < http://www.conti-online.com/generator/www/com/en/continental/portal/themes/press_services/archive/conti_corp/pr_2001_12_10_1_en.html > In the future you will get a German designed tire/tyre manufactured in Portugal with the Gislaved name on it. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com/saab/
