Michelin X-Ice. Haven't found anything better. No amount of Canadian snow or ice has been able to stop my SUV and when those are on, and I live in a hilly area.\n\nI have General Artimaax on my other car, they are ok, but road noise is insane. Won't buy those again.
Been using General Altimax Arctics and love them vs non-studded tires.
I have General Altimax Artics. Because they are seasonal they last a long time.
The original tires were getting slippery so put in new General all season the fall of 2024. Now handles top notch.
I've been happy with General G Max on a few cars and going to continental extreme contact dws 06 plus next set of shoes on whatever car needs them first.
I've had good luck with a set of General tires on my A4. The General tires cost less and perform better in every way so far.
That sucks. It's not the car or rain's fault. These cars are just fine in the rain. You were driving too fast, or following too closely, or have bald tires.
My go to budget tire are the General Altimax RT45s. I’ve had them and Michelin cross climate 2s and Nokian tires. The generals are a great value and wear nicely. They aren’t CC2s but do the job fine as an all around tire and the reviews and tests back that up and they handle snow pretty well.
I do have good experience with true winter tires (General Tire ArctiMax) and I will say that they will still slide even at slower speeds if it's ice and hard packed snow and you're aggressive enough with the controls.
Brand new set of General GS-05's that had <100 miles on them. I was literally a mile from home when I heard the sound of something hitting the underside of the d/s rear quarter. Got home and pulled in the driveway, and the rear tire was flat. Turns out I ran over someone's vape pen, and it cut a perfect 3/8" diameter hole in my tire.
