Thanks for the comments. I’m in Newfoundland and as East as it gets ( on a good day and with a good imagination I think I can see that great car land to the East- the U.K.) but no Kal Tire. The tire test that was referenced, supports my point on limited availability of upper end studded tires with #3,4,5 and 7 not available in Canada although looks like Michelin at #1 wil be the replacement for the Gislaves.
