[s-cars] Wot Winter Tires??

[Hap Maguire]

Just a little clarification on the General vs Gislaved snows. I don't know the exact timing but the current Generals are a several year old Nordfrost design. That's why they're typically a bit less expensive.

Hap, wit dakine tiring info not from Evahboost, Maguire

I had mine studded, which ended up not truly being tested over the past three seasons, but they were phenomenally stable and predictable on fresh snow, packed snow, thick slush and in the wet for the first two seasons, and due to a virtually snowless winter last season, pretty well untested in the third. They are worn enough now that I don't think I can pull a full 4th season from them this year, however, but they've outlasted both my  previous Nokian RSi's and Nokian WR G2's (terrible in comparison to the other two) by one full season.
