Since Eurotire went away, I've found I can buy tires at local
dealers and get them installed for less than any online price +
shipping + mounting+stems+balancing.
Yea, next time I buy tires I am going to order them from that
tire buyer website, they are cheaper and have free shipping.
Wonder how long that will last??

get the general altimax
Here's something intereesting. I checked with Max's new online
tire vendor, Tirebuyer.com. They have very similar customer
survey numbers for Altimax HP and Continental DWS, except the
Altimax averages 4.0 on a scale of 1 to 5 for light snow
traction, and the DWS gets 5.0. Then I found out that only one
out of 93 people gave a snow rating for the DWS. I guess the
other 92 people never drive in snow or hadn't owned it through
a winter before reviewing it.
Two out of 38 drivers both rated the Altimax at 4 in the snow.
With free shipping, they had the lowest delivered price on
both tires.

I found a more eurocentric tire review site. Their numbers are
on a scale of 1-5, with one being the best.
Nokian WR-G2 1.89 average, 1.6 in snow, 1165 responses.
Altimax HP 1.85, 2.8 in snow, 28 respondents.
Continental DWS 1.75, 2.2 in snow, only 6 respondents.
The low sample size for the General and Continental still gave
pretty much the end result I'd expect after seeing their Tire
Rack reviews.
