I got my Michelin Arctic Alpines on steel rims from tirerack.com. I was very satisfied with them on packed snow and wet roads. This is in a fwd car with 200 Hp that can spin the high performance summer tires through 3rd gear. The Arctic Alpines did not lose traction on starts up hills. From the wear in the first winter, these tires should last 9 years. > > > - anyone have a winter pkg that they are satisfied with?
