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.
Instead of mixing them look into Kumho Wintercraft Plus and get a set of 4. I just bought 215/60/16 at 100€ a tire.
They scored really good (3rd out of 50) on Autobild’s latest test and performed better than some of the big names.
Recomand kumho Solus, sunt cu 17 lei/bucată mai scumpe de 300 dar sunt bune. Fratele meu a avut pe mașina și se comportau bine pe ploaie și pe uscat iar pe zăpadă, decent.
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
The HA32 has pretty OK performance for an all-weather tire, it placed mostly in the middle of the pack in this review. Wet braking performance is a little behind the competition.
Leaving aside whether or not the mechanic should have changed them, the difference in quality and performance between Kumho and Bridgestone is negligible, virtually nil.
I had them on my 2020 GLI and drove the fronts down to about 18K miles. When I got my 2023, I got rid of them immediately. For a car such as this it shouldn't even come on the Kinergy's. For a daily performance car it deserves better rubber and anyone doing even the slightest bit of spirited driving can immediately feel they are not good. Great for daily commuting and around town so I'd assume they will last
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
