Hey Im looking at dedicated snow tires

my first choice are the Brigestone blizzaks
my second choice are some dunlop SP's and General Altimax Arctic

could any one shed some light on the General altimax...all the reviews ive read so far have been positive...but i want to know if any of the fellow maxima drivers have them

 

The Altimax are rebranded Gislaved Nord Frost 3. Exactly the same and both are made by Continental. It's a little dated in terms of design but the NF3 was one of the best tires during it's run. Still an excellent tire.

 

Also considering buying these...subscribing.

 

Alright here's more information between the Gislaved and the General..

those are great tires...almost simillar to the nokian hakkapelitta4 if my memory is good.... run them for 2 winters and no problem!

 

IF you cant go with the Blizzaks go for the Dunlops.

The General arent bad, if your into the more budget snow tire check out the continental conti viking contact 3..they are only sold in canada but they are a good snow!

 

ahhh, OK!, THANKS ....that was really informative

 

i understand what you mean...i just wanted a dedicated snow tire, and im in Baltimore MD, lol.....so REALLY HEAVY SNOW in this city is really once and a while

 

I have Blizzak WS50's and im extremely happy with them, for the price i paid, you couldnt go wrong (75$ a tire new).

in order from best the not the best..in terms of snow/ice traction

Nokain Hakkapelita RSI are no doubt probably the best
Bridgestone Blizzak (LM22,25, WS50/60)
Dunlop M3
Continental conti viking contact 3

The last three id say would be tied for second they are all good, probably the best money can buy..

 

where did you get them from?
