[s-cars] Nokian tires

[John Cunningham]

Classic "great product company losing the plot" story. I was a diehard Nokia fanatic (dating back before they had to add the other 'n' so uhhh i guess we wouldnt be confused that these big rubber things were cell phones), having bought many full sets of Hakkas, NRWs, and WRs, and stuck it out until early 2000's. First they just lost me on extreme prices, and then once I ran a few blizzaks and nordfrost/altimax I just couldn't see the performance advantage anymore.
