>The last time I checked i found that Tire Rack doesn't handle Nokia tires
>(snow or other).  Anyone know a decent mail-order source?

Last year, I ordered a set of Nokian NRW's for my daughter's VW Cabriolet
from a mail order place in Denver.  Performance Tire Warehouse
(800-222-7360) had an ad in the Quattro Quarterly.  Good price, good
service and great tires.  I may try a set of Nokians this year for my
Quattro.  The Yokohama all seasons I have on the car now are fine for
acceleration in the snow (aided greatly by Quattro, of course), but pretty
poor for stopping and turning, as has been pointed out elsewhere.
