Ok, thanks for the advice. The 215s are back-ordered up to 4 months so I can't really wait that long. I guess I'll have to settle on a different brand/model. Thanks again.

 

Other suggestions:
- Yokohama AVID TRZ
- Yokohama AVID Ascend
- Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum

 

As an alaternative you might want to check the Hankook 727 and Michelin Defender tires. Reviews for those tires are also favorable.

 

Tirerack doesn't have the defenders in my size and, based on their aggregated reviews, seem to be overpriced. The Hanooks also don't come in my size. Thanks for the suggestions, though. If I can't find the Continentals, I was thinking I might order the Kumho Ecsta 4Xs. They're very well reviewed, I don't need a ton of snow traction (live in KS), and they have high scores for ride comfort.

Thoughts?
