Tires IRONMAN or GENERAL TIRE

I run the same General tires. Before that, it was the RT43. Yes, the are not performance tires. What I have experienced is they get better mileage, and last a long time.

I got the Altimaxes on my older Escape, and have been very happy with them. Quieter and better handling than the Coopers they replaced.

I have had excellent luck with General Altimax Arctic and Nokian Nordman winter tires.

I like my General Grabbers personally but I do about 5% off roading in CO on difficult trails. Got a full 48k miles off the last pair and I do a lot of road driving too so was impressed

Look at maybe Nexen or General for a cheaper alternative that is more reliable.

If you want a solid, inexpensive replacement that won’t break the bank, the General Altimax RT45 is a great all-season option and runs about $131 each at Discounted Wheel Warehouse, which is a nice step up in safety without spending Michelin money.

I’ve found general altimax arctics to be a good solution when blizzaks are too much money. Plus these are studdable , if you live in a place where that is allowed. I’ve been running them on my cars for the last 20 years with no issues.

They have been fantastic for me for 14 years.

Money forced my hand a couple summers back and I had to put new front tires on my Grand Marquis at the time. Had to go cheap and bought Ironman iMove all seasons. After a few months the only positives on the ledger were that a) they had tread and b) oddly, they balanced out unbelievably well. 80 MPH on the highway, smooth as glass. Ride and handling quality deteriorated quickly from new and they got loud in a hurry.

I have them but they are incredibly thin. I’ve already had to replace a set of them due to how thin the sidewall is. I wouldn’t buy them again
