Gislaved (sp?) is Swedish made. I have a set of the Firestone Wintefire snow tires and they grip and wear very well. Find a tire that is a 70 series type tire and measure the circumference of the tire so it matches what the original is. Just guessing a 175/70X15 might be close. Euro-Tire used to have a chart for comparing tire dimensions.
