So....did Cody get some damn tires after all this or what? Its dumping for chrissake. I cant recommend the altis enough. Theyre cheap as shit and perform and last way beyond their cheap pricetag. I run them hard on the dry (theyre no RE01R's, but theyve been up to anything ive thrown at them) and the snow and wet and dirt, they rock all of it and are pretty quiet for a snow tire.

Dont forget, all snow tires are softer than 3 seasons, thats something we forget pretty easily and expect our winter tires to feel and perform like our r compounds, esp when roads are dry. I see folks overinflating their winter tires all the time up here trying to stiffen them up, but worsening their performance in any weather and the treadwear goes to shit too.

I would totally buy the altimax again next year, as I get 2 seasons out of mine, commuting so much and driving to the eastside all the time. I roadtrip a lot. Ive been to Bishop 5 times on my winter tires already and am going to red rocks vegas after t-day, plus my commute to work.

I had the pirelli winter carvings a few years ago, dont know how they compare to the 210's but I didnt care for them. If they werent so spendy, I would have liked them more. I remember them being very loud.
