(subtype)	amend
(headw1)	スタッドレスタイヤ
(pos)	n
(english1)	studless winter tire
(reference)	See http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/スタッドレスタイヤ
(comment)	The existing entry (simply translating it as "studless tire") does not make it clear that the word refers only to winter tyres; the term "studless t[iy]re" as such is not widespread in English, I count only about 400 hits on Google, and all but a couple of those are on sites related to Japanese motoring.

(subtype)	amend
(headw1)	後れを取る
(kana1)	おくれをとる
(pos)	verb
(english1)	to fall behind
(comment)	The current entry states "to be beaten", "be defeated" but it can also mean to "fall behind." for example:
"もう有名私立小学校に通う児童からずっと後れをとっているんです"
