I have a set of Continental DWSs and they are fantastic. Excellent grip in all conditions including snow and ice. Insane for all weather tires. Plus they're quite on the highway.
Owner reviews for tires
I've got the Generals on my Jetta GLI. I had higher performance tires but kept getting bubbles on the awful New England roads. I'm pretty happy with them. You definitely give up a little bit of grip/road feel on dry roads but they're comfortable for daily driving and the value factor is nice. If you're looking for something that's going to suit you on a day-to-day or commuter type basis I'd recommend them.
I drive a Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and ran a set of General AltiMAX RT43s to 64,000 miles (3/32” remaining tread). Replaced with RT45s a year ago (13k miles) and they still look new.
I have those Michelins on my Miata and they’re great. For my size, they were the cheapest option I had at the time as well so it was a no-brainer.
Not having experienced the Generals, but having had both the Michelins and the Continentals on my car, I'd overall give the pick to the Continentals due to the price difference. The Michelins were great, but overall don't think I compromised at all with the Contis. They ride quiet enough, grip well enough and don't make excessive noise.
Hands down the best tires I've always experienced in truck applications. The BFG TAs of course are very popular, but I find the Defenders give much better road comfort, and handling, and poor weather performance.
For the gti the firestone Indy firehawk 500’s are great tire for not super expensive. Just as good as my continental
I personally like Cooper tires, they’ve always delivered the goods for me personally, but that’s not much to go on.
Lol...same story here. I realized I've bought and mounted AT3WA instead of AT3W only few weeks later, as I could not believe those on pictures looked so different. These DOT aprovals for Europe are needed and US based tire companies simply do not apply for those since they have large enough market in US and Down under.
Honestly I was quite satisfied with AT3WA on road, wet and snowy, but they look so sissy I got rid of them.
Yokohama Geolander M/T 33x11.50. Terrible decision ????. Great for fresh powder but as soon as it gets packed and icy, I regret not springing for something with more contact patch. But damn if I don’t love the look
