Ended up getting the set as we're going to have some snow and had a road trip north. I immediately noticed the tires are a lot more forgiving over bumps, and the car feels a lot more smooth than before.
General or Kumho are what I've used on my w123s. Both worked fine and were relatively cheap.
The stock tires actually perform quite well (my stock were Dunlop AT20 Grandtreks). For anything other than mud, fantastic. Sand and greenlaning were no problem.
I've driven the General Altimax Arctic and they were indestructible. They handled snow/ice very well in my FWD Honda. Since they're winter tires, I only drove them 1/2 the year for 6 years. At that age, they recommend replacing tires, but they were still performing great and had tons of tread life left, so I just left them on the car for the whole next two years. They handled both winters great and were totally fine in the summer.
Great tire with awesome grip; however I prefer the q4 because the 5s wear out faster.
The Q5/Q5S is a good fire and has great grip with relatively low maintenance in the sense that you don't need to run warmers. What does suck is the wear, which is pretty aggressive ????
i have a set on my 2011 camry. super quiet, great gas mileage, the tires have since been discontinued and replaced with the RT45, which i have on my civic. both are good, solid tires.
I’ve had the generals on my bmw and they were alright
These are the worst tires I’ve ever had on a sports car by far.
Horrible. 7500 miles on the OEM tires. Replaced them with Cross Climate 2’s.
