[s-cars] Re: Nokian Group Buy is over

[Taka Mizutani]

So you all know, I did a quick spin around the neighborhood on a very
cold and rainy night recently with the WRs newly installed and
although there is definitely a bit more tread noise, they ride very
nicely and manage to turn-in, brake and accelerate quite closely to
the PZero Rossos that were removed for the winter.

This is on a Volvo V70R, OEM tire size is 235/45R17 and the WRs were
225/45R17- only way I could get the XL load rating that is a
requirement with this car- you NEVER get tires without sufficient load
rating unless you really know exactly what you're doing.

Thanks all for the nice words, glad I could help get people set for
the winter. The WRs are night and day vs. the NRWs, although I can't
say it is apples to oranges when the NRWs are on a STi and the WRs are
on a much softer V70R.
