I think that you may be a day late. CT just had their 25% off sale on the General Altimax Arctics which may have ended on Thursday.
I'm on my 5th winter with the studded General Altimax Arctics...I only drive about 10,000km all year....nearing 50,000 km on my odo at 5 years at the end of Dec.
Excellent value winter tires....pretty solid, no issues with the freezing rain events, was great when driving over the Rocky mountains between Alberta and BC each winter (half dozen times in 2012-13). The only con is the noticeable drop in gas mileage. I drive a 4x4 truck and I do notice the drop. It was already poor without the winter tires and 200 pounds of sand bags over the rear axle.
The Contintenal ExtremeWinterContact is another tire (Continental owns General too) that I would consider...if they have your tire size. Test results were among the highest at Tirerack.com (comparable to Michelin Xi2/3 and Blizzak WS70).
