Snow tires.....

[Greg Galinsky]

It did used to be Nokia.  When the company was split off from the Nokia corp
( cell phone and telecom) they added a letter at the end.   Nokia divested
themselves of their holdings in paper, pulp, steel cable, computor moniters,
electronics, protective rubber wear and boots in the mid 90's.  The tire
division was also one of the divisions to go; was less than 10% of the
company.  The parent company kept 20% of the stock in the tire division but
it was launched as a seperate company and as NOKIAN.
