Just bought 4 wheels with tires mounted. They match the factory originals. The tread on them is actually better than what is now on the car, so I'm going to install them and use them til Dec/Jan, then mount snows on.
I got a price of 93.70 each for the Altimax's, installed. Blizzacks were not available yet for this year.

Even if you are on dry road cold temp can change your tires characteristics. A winter tire will perform better in the cold than all season because the all season compound hardens up under cold temperature decreasing te amount of traction it can get on dry roads.
