There are a lot of crappy AS out there. Take a look at the tests in Tirerack and you can see how differently they perform. Like any tires, you still gotta shop for the right one. I'm annoyed because the one I want has been back-ordered since February.

I think that's kinda the point of us going off-topic here. Rex's car is AWD, so there really isn't a need to double your tire budget and get winter tires.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
