- you will indeed want good snow tires; very good ones.
-
- the best in the world appear to be the Nokia NR10; this is a finnish
- made tire with impeccable deep snow manners. it is available in restricted
- sizes; its predecessor, the NR09 is available in most other sizes, and
- the NR09 was the best you could get until the NR10 came out.
-
- you can get them mail order from K T Motorsports, 518-765-2206, in
- Voorheesville NY. K T is one of the 3 US importers; their prices will
- be essentially unbeatable. expect to pay about $80 per tire; possibly
- less.
-
- i recommend all four tires; two tires only is a risky proposition in
- serious snow.
