If it was an Audi, now _that_ would really annoy the Audi gods...

Igor, where do you find the Nokia NRW snows.  Also what's the difference, if any
between Nokia NRW and Nokia Hakkapeliitta 10 referred to in another post?  I
haven't seen them locally.  Do the mail order places like Tire Rack, Discount
Tire, etc. carry them?  How do the prices compare w/ other brands?  For
185/65/14 Blizzaks and Pirellis are ~$70, Dunlops are ~$50.
