If you're going for cheap go to Walmart. You'll be happy for what you're looking for.

what kind of snow tires are y'all running on your car(s) this coming season??
I had the Hankook iPike W409 on my Audi, should I get those for the 328 as well, or should i explore something "better"?
mostly highway driving, and some downtown driving, roads are usually cleared within first 24 hours.
i like the W409; drove the S2000 with those when i drove it for 1 winter.

I have the ipike on my civic. It's better than all seasons, but as a snow tire, it's "ok".

Ive been using the w409 for a few seasons now on my Veloster and my Civic before that. Great tire IMO, especially in the deep stuff. Kinda loud and mushy on dry roads, but a sweet snow tire. But, I think I read that Hankook is replacing them with something else, the w419 I believe it called.
Allen from SimpleTire recommended the w419 or the General Altimax Arctic is a lower cost winter and the new Blizzak WS80 for a premium tire.

^ Probably not so much to speed up a tire change, but reduce the potential injury claims (the guy hurting himself w/ the pry bar prying the tire off the rim) and damage claims (from customers saying their rims got gouge by said same screw ups).
