[Shotimes] Sho is HORRIBLE in the snow

[92SHO]

Hey David,

It's nice to find another Montrealer on the list (I'm in Brossard 
myself)...  I'm running 16" Nokian Hakkapeliitta Q on slicers, and also 
have Nokian Q's on my wife's car ('96 Protege), tried them first on the SHO 
and now I'm sold to these tires for life.  Not high-perf but they handle & 
stick very well.  I ran several winters on various 4-season tires, you 
don't know what you're missing until you mount the real stuff.

This weekend the SHO gets a new radiator (leaky plastic side tanks), 
unfortunately only a few months after I did the water pump & thermostat, so 
I have to empty the cooling system once again.  Oh well...

BTW, the SHO is GREAT in the snow !
