Does Nokian make an ISO 406-mm studded tire anymore (I was under the
impression that they had discontinued this size in the late 1990's)?

Fortunately, Schwalbe has both adopted superior tungsten carbide studs
and makes an ISO 406-mm version: <http://www.schwalbetires.com/node/1788>.

I have a cow orker with skinny studded nokians. They're 700c's, not 26".
Don't know.
