I have never heard of tire buyer before, but I checked the Altimax
HP, which I run on my 140SD and they are the same price as
tirerack, but they have free shipping, so I would be saving about
$70. Do they always have free shipping? Anybody used them before?

Well, TireRack couldn't deliver the tires before early January, and I need
them earlier. TireBuyer has them in stock for a higher price ($78) and no
rebate, but free shipping, so I'll pay about $75 more but get a tire that
looks decent. Better, TireBuyer will deliver them to my favorite tire/brake
place, Geralds, while TireRack uses a different local installer that is OK
but I really like Geralds.

OK, looks like I've got to decide between these two 195/65R15 91H tires:
Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position ($194 for 4 tires - special
price
for December)
-or-
General Altimax HP ($264 for 4 tires).
Methinks I'll go with the Bridgestone...
I live where it snows, and there was a $50 rebate on the Altimax HP when I
bought them.
You live where it doesn't snow much and melts fast, and there's a $70 rebate
on
Michelin and Bridgestone right now.
The Generals are ranked a bit higher in the snow, but the Bridgestones are
the
#3 tire in the 'ultra high performance all season' category, and the highest
ranked UHP tire that's sold in 15". Yeah, I'd be all over those
Bridgestones, if
I lived in the Carolinas and I could wait for the backorder status. Or if I
lived anywhere else and used a separate set of snow tires.
Mitch.
