Thanks for the correction, Ted, you are correct that Vreds are made in
Holland, and have been since 1946.

Actually they are made in Holland were the Vredestein is based. I run
them, too. Great tires. I run them on all my cars. You might be
confusing them with Nokian tires that are indeed Scandanavian (Helsinki,
Finland), Nokian and the company's rubber business were the forerunner
to the Nokia cell phones. Nokian does, as any nothern-tier resident
will attest, make great snow tires.
Page 2 of Nokian's 2006 annual report annual sports a nice b/w of an
MGA.

Vredestein; from Coker...two day delivery. Made in Norway,
looks good, good tread pattern, and a good price...$85/tire
($15/tire
for shipping). It's a 40,000 mile tire. I've been very happy with
them
on my TR3.
