Tires BRIDGESTONE or GENERAL TIRE

After one week of ownership I purchased a new set of General Altimax rt43's (replaced the OEM Conti's) that are rated V, max 149 mph. They have worn like iron, have great grip and are very quiet, even after 20k miles.

I've been happy with General Altimax RT43 tires on my previous cars, good balance of quality and price for an all around tire.

I've been running general g max as-05s and been pleasantly surprised with their performance. Nothing close to the 200 treadwear summers I've run, but decent for an all season.

I have put General Altimax tires on my older hatchback and think they're pretty good.

Nokian (any of their winters), Blizzaks (any of their winters), michelin x-ice or General Artic winter tires are the 4 brands that I stick to for winter tires. Nokian is hands down the best, Blizzaks and Michelin are a real close 2nd and 3rd and the generals are a solid budget tire that I used to run on my 240sx in ottawa way back in day. (I currently run General Grabbers on my pickup and they are better than the bfgoodrich that are nearly 100$ more a tire).

Then installed brand new Blizzak winter tires, aired up to 36lbs. Next 3 tanks road tripping to Bend Oregon. Largest size Thule cargo box on roof. First road trip tank on the way down all rolling rural highway, so a lot of total elevation change. 24mpg.

So swapped out to an AWD Atlas, added new 17inch wheels with Blizzaks. It's a remarkable set up for winter driving, incredibly confidence inspiring

I currently have General Altimax Arctic, studded, on my 2013. So far they have been great, but we will see how they go in deeper snow.

I just had my original ecopia 422 205/55/16's swapped out with a set of Nokian Solstice all weather tires in the same size. All seasons don't do well in the wet and slushy snow we get here in south coast of B.C.

That model Bridgestone tires is terrible in winter. Traction goes away below 45°. Wet weather is a challenge to say the least. I took them off and put on continental DWS tires at 10,000 miles.
