What happened to Nokian?

I know they’re still going, making car/studded tyres etc.

But any idea why their bike range isn’t available in the UK anymore? They were pretty decent, weren’t they?

hmmm interesting.

Nokian gazzaloddis(?) were awesome

I b ought a set of Nokians a while ago and hated them. Always felt like I was riding on ice even when the ground was hard packed. Like their gear/brake cable covers though but not the annoying creaking they make! 👿

Ah, thanks, and sorry for asking such an incredibly dull question. 😉
