Tires GENERAL TIRE or Shinko

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'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

I have been buying General Altimax RT43 tires based on a recommendation a few years ago from Consumers Reports. It's a good balance between performance and cost.

I went altimax arctic 12 205/55/16 after reading up.

General ht60 grabbers. On my second pair. Very smooth and quite. I love them and they're a lot less than michelins.

I drive all season high performance in snow and have no issues. General Gmax AS-05 got me over passes while trucks and suv were stuck on the side of the road.

It’s not a good brand but it isn’t the worst.

But with the exception of the general grabbers. Those are some good off road tires for trucks

I switched my winter tires for summers back on the Miata and noticed something odd. There are parts of the tread in the center on every tire that just seemed to have fallen off at some point. I bought the tires in 9/2015 and they had a 1012 build date. I was quite upset with Tire Rack that they would send me 3.5 year old tires advertised as new but they said there was nothing they could do. I ran them winter of 2015/2016 and again this current 2016/2017 winter. Last year they didn't have this separation and I have no idea what happened. I don't think it's something small that I ran over since it happened to all 4 tires. They're 175/65/14 General Altimax Arctics by the way.
