Tires GENERAL TIRE or Shinko

I've run Shinko on scooters and motorcycles and liked 'em fine. Presently have Shinko 586 rear and 567 front on a Piaggio BV250.

I have them in a 235/75R15. I love them. Way quieter than the General Grabbers I had.

General tires are the best out in my opinion. Even though they are owned by Continental they are a separate entity that does their own thing. The past 5 years I think general is the best because of quality, balance well, good tread life, quiet, etc.

I currently have Altimax RT-45 tires on my Golf Sportwagen (TDI, 6 speed manual). I used to use all-weather tires like Toyota Celsius, which are great for moderate snow. But winters in New England have gotten so less snowy that the Generals are excellent. Good handling, good in the rain, quiet.

I've been running General Tire Altmax Artic Snows year round for maybe 5+ years on the same vehicle (no replacement, same tires, not even rotating).

I had Michelin before

The General tires on my IONIQ5 are silent on dry road and delivers just as good in général comparing Michelin or Toyo which I had on my car previously

I avoided the 805 big blocks because of typically rough and noisy street use. Figured they’d be great offroad. Tried some 705s and they were great street tires but really loose and washy offroad. I’m on the 700s now and I’m really liking them. Closest thing to a 50/50 tire I’ve ever had.

I ran general gmax rs for a full season, 9 events and 6 runs a event. They did well and still got 35000 miles out of them.

Had Generals that would get a flat spot in colder weather.    Not sure if much has changed in 10 years, but it definitely put me off General for a while....

i know general makes the altimax rt45 in that size, at least we get that in the states. im not a fan of uniroyals at all, the generals are a better tire across the board
