Nokian tires

[Greg Smith]

Bob
I'm still around. Just have not been much of a Nokian fan for the the past 8 years. I have felt that the Gislaved Nordfrost has been a better functioning winter tire and at a better price. Nokian has taken big price increases the pat 6 years, when Gislaved took increases of 1/2 or 1/3 as much.  The reliability of the Gislaveds has been better than Nokians in the long term.  The one big edge that Nokian has is if someone wants a compromise tire to run year round, the Nokian WR G2 or similar will do that if you moderate your speed to conditions.  
I've given up ice racing and ice trials.  After 30 years of doing it, the fire was not there any more.  Getting rid of a bunch of cars.  Sold off my tire siper and going to sell my tire tractionizer also.  Been selling snow tires for 33 years; not certain if I will make it to 35 years.  I'll figure out what I want to do for a living when I grow up.
Just sold my 1990 90Q. Still have a few other 80 and 90Q sitting around. When I get a bit of time; will finish putting the heater core back into a one owner 1988 80Q that will be one of my winter drivers.

Hi Y'all,

Is Greg Galinsky still handling Nokian tires?  Has anyone heard from him recently (like in the last year or so)?

Bob
