Tires Achilles or GENERAL TIRE

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I've used the General Gmax As05 and now the new AS07 for the past bunch of years. Never had any problems driving in the snow and ice of PA or any cold weather at all. Cheaper than Pirelli and Michelins, very solid overall.

Pros: good in snow/ice, cheaper, very solid
Vehicle: BMW

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I had General Grabbers on my Tacoma and plan to upgrade my Land Cruiser to those over the next few months. They were perfect for 80% driving during the week and camping/overlanding/work duty on weekends.

Pros: perfect for daily and off-road
Vehicle: Toyota

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I had a set of all weather general tire Altimax and omg. Abit pricy but it’s basically two sets of tires in one.. I’ve had all seasons before and it doesn’t compare to the confidence I had with my all weather.

Pros: like two sets in one, high confidence
Cons: a bit pricey

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I went for General Altimax RT45 year round on our Bolt. The price was right, they have good longevity and did well in Tire Rack's tests. Slight dip in range to the tune of ~5-10 miles. Just good all-arounders at nice price. They outdid the Defender 2 in Tire Rack's tests.

Pros: good longevity, good all-arounders, nice price
Cons: slight dip in range

Achilles Tires

Take it from someone who for the first 15 years of driving spent the big bucks on Conti DWS/Michelin Pilot's/Goodyear Assurances/ Pirelli P Zero's/Hankook Ventus etc. At least two dozen sets.

All a waste of money unless you are well off. I am by no means poor anymore but I started running the super generics about 8 years ago, Achilles Desert Hawk's, Gladiator XT's, Westlake's, Lexani's and now Lionhart's.

No they are not as good as the name brands, but every day driving you and 99% of people can't tell and you will naturally acclimate to whatever the limits are over time while saving 60-75% off buying name brand if you really take your time and shop around.

I've towed my 8000lb camper around the country, through the Rockies with some of these generics.

Pros: save 60-75% money
Cons: not as good as name brands

Achilles Tires

Just realized Carmax put a new set of these on the 2020 Mustang I bought from them.  Easily the worst performing tire in the rain that I have ever encountered.  Instant hydroplaning on concrete, when there isn't even much of any water.  At least knowing how terribly cheap these tires are, I may not feel bad replacing them before their end of trade life.  Dangerous!  Avoid!

Cons: worst performing tire, dangerous
