This should not be this mysterious. Why dealers in the US are so clueless about something as simple customers asking for snow tires for a car that is not known to be terrific in the snow is beyond my comprehension. It's like I'm trying to order an O-ring for the shuttle!

Confused as to a) why my dealer does not have the tires, b) why I have to go through some after market distributor and which is best (Tequipment or Wheel Enhancement) and c) why the need for separate rims for snows, although I know this has been discussed before.
