On the other hand, you can buy a lot of Innova's stud replacement kits for the price differential between them and a set of Nokians or Schwalbes.
thanks much! Hadn't heard of the kits. Must be considerable labor involved though. Figure in the possiblility that I don't even mess around in the snow next winter and the decision looks much better.
btw - the lbs in question is Park Ave in Henrietta. Very happy with them in general.
