Argentina. Just bought them today for the old Jetta (Saabs stay indoors for the winter) and they're my first set of snows ever. Haven't lived in the north for 25 years, so I'll see if these help my driving.
As I see it, the Russians ought to know a thing or two about winter tires, right Siegfried? Then again, I also hate seeing companies pocketing a big profit by charging the same old prices while moving jobs to places where labor costs less. I just looked at those Nokians and they were about $140 each in 185/60/14 instead of the $69 each including mounting for the Firestones. My recollection is that I read that they are rated "all-season" here but "winter" in Europe.
