Altimaxes are cheap and probably okay in terms of value for $$. But if someone wants the best grip, they aren't up to snuff relative the newest offerings from Conti/Michelin/Nokian/Bridgestone.
And Pirelli, the Sottozero is an excellent bare road winter tire with adequate winter performance.

Make sure you assess your likely winter road conditions in your area and, very important, honestly assess your winter driving skills. The less winter driving you do the more you need the really grippy winter tires. Also, if you are a good track driver you will find mastering winter driving a breeze so in that case go for Pirelli or the new Michelin PA4 and enjoy the handling.
