Tires GENERAL TIRE or OEM Subaru

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.

My 22 WRX was also good in the snow, there was times where people were getting stuck especially on hills and I would just cruise by with no issues. I had pilot sport all season 4 tires which are only meant for light snow and I had no issues.

Years ago I was door dashing, had a really nice set of snow tires on my legacy. That thing is a beast in the snow; one lady came to the door and apologized for not having shoveled. I handed her food over and said "no worries" and brapped my out of her driveway while she watched me essentially plow it with my bumper, easily walked thru 8+ inches of snow without missing a beat.

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.

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.

By comparison to the Continental Pure Contacts, the General RT45s:

\u2705 Cornering feels tighter and faster

\u2705 Traction seems about equal

\u274c Do not feel as \"supple\". Slightly harsher when going over rough pavement

\u274c Do not seem to coast as long

\u274c Slightly noisier

I’ve got the generals and they are absolute shit in the snow up here in the north. Swapping them out this week. For the 6 months I had them without snow they felt great for a highway tire
