Tires GT Radial or GENERAL TIRE

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.

On the Forester I put some Radar branded tires on. They were the cheapest Mud + Snow three peak rated tires on Tire Rack. Car drives fine but they are LOUD. I thought a wheel bearing was going out as soon as I put them on (and I'll probably just proactively change the wheel bearings anyways). On the Econoline I got some Ironman tires. Honestly they seem fine, but the van doesn't have the smoothest ride and has a lot of stuff inside bouncing around so I can't judge their ride/comfort. One of the tires had a pretty good hop on the balance machine, though. On the Toyota Pickup I have some GT Radials I put on about 5 years ago and they've been great, no issues in the time I've had them (about 15k miles so far).

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).

GT radial UHP AS tires are like $70 a tire, and more than good enough for the street. I even took them on track for a session, and while they are a bit floppy, they're also way better in the rain and more comfortable than most summer tires.

Just get the GT radial IMHO, higher rating (60k miles) and cheaper than Douglas (45k miles).

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 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.

GT Radial is okay naman.

they dont last, had them for 11 months had chord showing at the end.
