Hey Greg.

Due to the recent 'tires in Canada' thread, I searched and found the
same thing; WM stocks some Nexen's. (passenger tires).

Doesn't hurt to ask right? I bet they'd bring them in if they could.
If the Winguard offered anywhere near the same performance of a Nokian
snow/ice, that would be cool.

Neil.
