Tires FEDERAL or GENERAL TIRE

General Gmax RS is a great affordable tire, I use them on my car for everyday use and have auto crossed them a few times with good results.

The tire pressure light came on but upon Reset so far so good. The slightly larger size gives the car a nicer and quieter ride. Should also last longer due to greater load carrying capacity. The Goodyears were good for 28K miles. If it were summer I probably let them go till 30K.

Federal 595's are to my knowledge, the best bang for your buck.

I'm considering getting something like 50,000 mile General G-Max AS 05s instead of something like the long lasting and highly rated Michelin CrossClimate2

Ended up with General ALTIMAX 365 AW. Wife wanted a solid ice/snow tire. Best rated tire for snow/ice . Fairly good for Ride quality and noise. Dry/wet driving is not rated as good as other two tires on this list.

I have used the 595-RSR tires for 8 years now, several sets. yes they are noisy, get worse with miles but I noticed the newest ones were even louder! These tires are the ultimate in grip/handling, one of the few that can put FWD power to the ground. Make my cars handle like its on rails and they don't squeal when pushing to the limit around corners. They are so sticky they pick up all the rocks/debris and throw it up in your wheel wells/rockers. I think they are easily one the best handling tire out there. Very stiff sidewalls, but extremely loud (like louder than winter tires). If you can handle the sound and dont expect a lot of miles out of them, go for it.

I'd recommend Generals. On the recommended by Consumer Reports list for winters and well placed in other tire testing, you can't go wrong with them. Less expensive than Michelin, Bridgestone, etc.

Been using this brand for over a decade.

Reasonably priced. Long lasting, good grip, a little louder than the comparable Michelin tire

Those tires are the lowest budget-high grip tires you can buy. Can't have everything for free, noise is to be expected with that kind of tire peformance

A friend bought them for his E92 M3 and ran one event with them before the shutdown. He said they're not very impressive at all, even his old and cycled RS3s had noticeably more grip available.
