fahren - those tires are actually more expensive than the lm-22's. i was looking for cheaper tires like 100-120 range

What size are you looking at?

The Dunlop SP Winter Sport 3D is a good choice and in general cheaper than the LM-22/25.

The cheapest tire the TireRack sells is the General Altimax Arctic. It's a rebadged Gislaved NordForst 3 from Sweden and actually a good tire. It's not a "performance" winter tire though, so the speed rating is much lower with a squishier ride. Excellent for snow and ice. Last winter Milwaukee got 100" of snow! Although unusual, I certainly wouldn't want a "performance" winter tire with that much snowfall.

I'm with Cirrus. Dunlop 3D. Bloody great. When it comes to winter (we got over 100") dont mess around. Get a good tire on all 4. Sure cheaper to pop for tires than the deductable for a front ender.

Hey,

in our country that's the cheapest in the quality range!
If you want even cheaper, i will not recoment that.
You must not risk serious injury for a couple of bills, that's my opinion.

Maybe you must go for B brand tires but i have no experience with those.

Sorry,

Greetings Faf

Currently, the General Altimax Arctic and Dunlop 3D's are the least expensive winter tires that we carry in the 205/55R16 size.
