After 30k miles the Altimax HP on the Olds are doing fine. They don't stick like they did 7 years ago though. Back then the car couldn't spin the front tires no matter what. Now it happens any time I give it more than 1/2 throttle from a standing start. Bought a used Taurus in 2001 with fairly new Continental touring tires on it. Over the nest few years and 30k miles, all four of them came apart. When I bought tires for the 210 4Matic wagon, I wanted to get Continental DWS, which were some of the best 'all season' snow tires at Tire Rack. There were enough belt failure reviews on the web that I ended up buying General G-Max instead. No problems to note so far, but I was surprised at how easy it was to kick the tail out the first time I drove it in the snow with the brand new 'all season' Generals on it. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
