best winter tires

[semlin]

nokian has worked with the insurance companies and found that bout 85% of accidents are caused by the loss of lateral stability and hae designed their tires to help combat that

yeah, more lateral stability would have helped for sure.

i found the nokian RSIs online for us$116 a corner with free shipping inside the us. could maybe ship'em to a courier hut in oroville and get them installed there but i'll have to check the install rates first. kaltire has the whole market on these things up here so not much chance of a sale or any break on the install. they are far and they far and away the spendiest winter tire I have priced.
