Tires Giti or GENERAL TIRE

General Altimax Arctic 12 are 97% as good as Blizzak for about 75% of the price.

Another alternative is to look for budget tier tires. I went down the rabbit hole recently and Giti is apparently decent enough and performs well as its branded peers in wet conditions.

My wife's Audi has unstoppable General Altimax Artic claw studded. Also a great tire and less expensive than hakkas or Michelin.

General Grabber ATx. I use em on my daily, ZERO complaints. Done a good job on mid, sand, and on icy Missouri roads.

I\u2019ve always had very good luck with a General Altimax RT45 long lasting quiet, good tire and a good price. Currently using the General AW 365 been very good in the snow so far. I have a 2016 Kia forte LX.

For a Volt on hilly snowy roads, the best “cheap but actually works” winter tire I’ve used is the General Altimax Arctic 12. It’s one of the few budget winter tires that still digs in on steep climbs and icy starts, and it wears slower than most entry-level options.

I had General Grabbers AT3 and they were great.

I've only ever tried 1 - General Altimax Artic. I drove on them through the Rockies for 4 ski seasons, no studs. Can't imagine needing anything more. My Subaru felt unstoppable... but also completely stoppable! I could turn and brake just fine. Felt like I was on pavement. Almost no fun because I couldn't even get the car to drift!

Giti is an okay brand of tire but personally, I will switch to Michelins once the OEM tires need replacing. And even then EV tires will need more constant replacements because of the extra weight.

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
