03 KIA Spectra that I use for work has Douglas 185/70r14 winter tires which I have to replace two.  Axle broke and a piece of metal cut the right front.  Have not found a dealer yet, will go Cooper if no Douglas around here

                HI    Priya I  would like to know If we can get those tires over here under what name ...
                        WE cant use studs here its against the LAW ..............Don

I would think you should be able to get them, its a Scandinavian company and I'm sure they sell throughout Canada and the States.  The Hakkapeliitta 7's come from the factory with studs but they make other winter tires without studs.  Here's one:

I believe the factory tire was the Goodyear Arriva, except on SX/4 Sports which got the Goodyear Eagle GT.

on the subject of snow tires i run general altimax artic on the wifes sonata. those tires on fwd were significantly better in the snow than the goodyear wranglers i was running on my truck in 4x4. at the end of the second season with them and they still look almost new. i chose not to have them studded and they performed very well in snow and ice.

                HI      Maddog     Where do you buy  mastercraft  I know cooper .Thanks .......don

Mastercraft is the house brand for a store chain called 'Canadian Tire'.    Basically they buy a huge run of tires, and then have that name put on the side, but they are cooper tires.  Just like Sears used to get a run of Toshiba or RCA TV's and/or VCR's and then have the 'Sears' logo on the unit, instead of Toshiba.
