Rating 4.0

I got falken sincera tires for my 15 fit and 13 Yaris. No issuues and they were cheap and high mileage rated. I recall on my Yaris they took a little getting used to as the sidewalls seemed to have more play but with the Honda they felt just like the ones that came new with my car.

Pros: cheap, high mileage rated
Cons: sidewalls seemed to have play
Vehicle: Honda Fit

Falken Tires

I'd use the OEM Falken Sincera’s. This is because I read this review: "So far I have had no flats or problems with the OEM Falken Sincera’s other than being a bit noisy. They have done ok in the DC area weather where we get little snow and I think 40K for tread wear isn’t too bad."

Pros: no flats, ok weather
Cons: a bit noisy
Mileage: 40000 km

Last week I replaced OE Conti Pro Contact which still had decent thread left but were uncomfortably noisy with General Altimax RT43 and boy what a difference in ride quality, handling and incredibly quiet.

Pros: ride quality, incredibly quiet
Cons: uncomfortably noisy

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I’ve found the General G-Max AS-03 to be an awesome tire, on my 2nd set since the OEM Dunlop’s but the new AS-05 will be the replacement.

Pros: awesome tire
Vehicle: Volkswagen

GENERAL TIRE Tires

The General Gmax AS-05's perform extremely well. The Michelin's are still top dog don't get me wrong, they have better braking, lateral grip, as well as wet grip, but if you want 95% of the the AS 3+'s and save (usually) a couple hundred dollars on a new set of tires the AS-05's are my pick.

Pros: performs extremely well
Cons: Michelin's have better grip

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I just ordered a set of General Tire G-MAX AS-05 for my Bolt. With 28,000 miles of wear on the factory tires, I can feel it starting to hydroplane in heavy rain. I'm swapping before something worse than "starting to hydroplane" happens. And I'm looking forward to it being a *lot more fun* to drive.

Pros: more fun to drive
Cons: starting to hydroplane
Mileage: 45061 km

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I'm running the older Altimax Arctic on my 06 Legacy wagon and the new Arctic 12 on my 17 CX-5 awd. Agree 100%. They are excellent all-around winter tires, but far from a performance winter tire.

Pros: excellent all-around
Cons: far from performance

I'm in the Boston area as well (NW), running General Altimax Arctic 12s in 225/45/18 for a bit more sidewall. They've been excellent in the snow, I just need to remember not to go all in on dry on ramps.

Pros: excellent in the snow
Cons: not on dry on ramps

In 2010, our shop purchased a brand new Ranger 2.3 and I fitted brand new studded General Altimax Arctic, which were broken in before the first snowstorm. When we had our first snowstorm (heavy, wet snow), I took it out for some errands to see how it would do; it was absolute trash. Driving a straight line was impossible.

Cons: absolute trash, impossible driving
Vehicle: Ford Ranger
