Snow tires

[Todd Phenneger]

What has changed on the Gislaved from the Nordfrost II's to the
Frost's???   I just picked up an almost new set of Nordfrost
II's and am wondering how they would compare in this comparo. 
Does anyone have any tests between these and the old studded
Hakka 10's laying around from a few years ago?
  I a Nokian fan all the way but couldn't pass up 4 almost new
Nordfrost's mounted and balanced for $170USD including Tax.
Thanks
  Todd
