Tires GENERAL TIRE or OEM Volkswagen

Update 6 months later: I haven't gotten a chance to test them in snow despite getting them in January. It was a very mild winter. But I noticed immediately how much better they handled in the rain. Compared to those these made a real difference and I felt safer. I don't notice any more noise with these.

Basically, both are pretty good tires and at an equal price or a little bit more, I'd take the Generals...

Went with the Generals and have been getting anecdotally very good efficiency.

I have these tires on my 01 Tahoe and they are a beast. Love em, especially in the snow in Michigan's upper peninsula. I take care of a camp about a third of a mile in on unpaved road and these things run me in there with snow bumper high like it ain't no thing. Muddy in the spring, same deal. Comfy on pavement, not a bad thing to say about them.

General grabbers at2 or atx whatever they are now, are great and last awhile on a Jeep.

i run general grabbers and theyre g2g

I got a set of General Grabber ATX last Fall. They look really similar to a KO2, and have the 3 peak snow rating.

I had him replace all 4 tires with new General Altimax tires (which is what I have on my Tiguan now) and I never had another problem.

My thoughts are the tires work fine. I do get a little rubbing at extremes, but no significant loss of traction on icy, snowy stuff.

They are great when they are new but as you put miles on them and the tread wears I thought they sucked. I replaced my generals with about half tread life because in the rain they liked to hydroplan.
