Winter tires

[PeterBergin at aol.com]

Thanks Eric, have the Firestones on my old backup Volvo wagon, just got  
them on, no snow yet.
 
I guess I got spoiled with the Haka RSI's.  Don't really need the V  
ratting, however did take the Hakka's up to 145 once (not the smartest thing I  
have ever done).  Just don't want a tire that rides too mushy on the  S6.
Thanks
Pete

For snow  tires we were selling the Firestone winterforce line 
(inexpensive),
but due  to sizing issues we ending up installing the General Altimax Artics
on one  customer's vehicle. Have also sold the Dunlop Graspic's, but now
advising  the Generals! Fairly aggressive, deep and open tread pattern and
seem to  ride as well as can be expected for snows. Plus, probably 90% of
that line  are manufactured in Germany! Not keen on either Korean or  
Chinese
tires.  



The Generals are not a high end tire,  but are more than sufficient for the
"normal" driver. As for the V rating..  If you need a tire rated as such for
snow I would have to question your  sanity.. Oh, I forgot, we're  driving
Audis?
