Stainless steel refers to the windings on the lower strings. They have a bit more tension than nickle wound but you soon don't notice any difference. I have used stainless steel strings for many years because they maintain their clarity and do not dull with age. I have not found that the windings wear the frets any more than nickle. Fender produce great quality strings at a very reasonable price in comparison to other brands. Their stainless steel 09-42 sets are my go to choice.
