They were called Nordfrost then. Have they really Anglicized the name that way? Rumor has it that they aren't as good as they used to be. They were good when I had them. I now use the Nokian Hakkapeliitta tire. They are made in Finland, and everyone who buys them seems to love them. I haven't driven them much in snow, but so far, so good. I have driven them a lot on dry roads, and I'm surprised how the sacrifice in handling is very small. And they're not noisy unless my road speed is LOW. I don't recognize your size as a Saab size. Are you asking for the sake of a Saab car? -- Tom Reingold Noo Joizy
