Nokian Tires, anyone using them?
Sweedish Company. About $250 less than Michelin.

I didn't know they made tires out of old cellphones....

You stole my joke.

I've never heard of them. I think they're trying to break out into exporting local products and "worldize" them, so I guess they're just as good of a tire as anyone else has for a national brand. I'm just speculating here.

hmmm....well, would save me $173. The best deal I found for Michelin LTX/MS in
265/70-16 was $754 drive out. The Nokians are $581 drive out. They are pretty sweet looking and they have a cool web site, ha! Decisions..decisions..

Sorry to kinda tease like that. What are you driving? Sounds like a good deal though.

I found several people selling them.

http://www.tirefactory.net/nokian.htm -- for example.

Some models have got some pretty funky patterns.

I ride a Suburban, 04'. I went with the Nokians. Put them on Saturday. Man are they sweet! Smooth quite ride with nice grippy feel on the road.

The first time I saw a Nokia tire was in the trunk of a Saab. It was one of those 'mini spares.' It opened my eyes to the fact that Nokia is an industrial giant, not just a mobile phone mfg. You can buy a Nokia fridge, toaster, or tires. See Nokia's history at: Nokia.com (http://www.nokia.com/A4303002) AMR ranks Nokia number 1 in their "Top Supply Chain" roster ahead of the likes of IBM, Toyota, and Wal_Mart. From: MBT (http://www.mbtmag.com/article/CA6462390.html)
AMR's Top 25:
Nokia
Apple
Proctor & Gamble
IBM
Toyota Motor
Wal-Mart Stores
Anheuser-Busch
Tesco
Best Buy
Samsung ElectronicsAnother one to watch on that list is Tesco. A huge food retailer in the UK. They are broke ground on a distribution center in SoCal and will be opening stores next year, across the southwest starting in SoCal and AZ. Bigger that a 7-11 smaller than an Albertsons with value priced fresh foods targeted at the working family.
