Tires Kumho or GENERAL TIRE
Honestly? I've got nothing against Pirelli tires, but the Generals are would be my go to here... They are a better quality tires than those specific Pirellis... Ride better, be quieter, last longer...
I ran a General Altimax (AS??) on one of my older cars and at the time was plenty happy with it.
I actually just grabbed a set of Kumho solus 4s all weather for Canadian driving and I absolutely love them on my awd suv! It was between those and the falcon wildpeak AT trail …both had great reviews so I went with the Kumho because slightly cheaper and I think I can see myself buying these again
I am a big fan of General tires in general in the moderate budget category... they are a great cost to benefit tire and part of Continental tires.
The Grabber HTS 60 is a great tire... as long as you don't have to deal with winter conditions.
I had General Altimax Arctic 12s for 2 years and didn’t switch them out in the summer. Surprisingly great performance on all the dirt roads and still held traction on their second winter season.
Currently have their All-weathers Kumho HA 32. Snowed a ton in BC and having no issues on plowed roads and sidestreets. Handles much better in rain than my OEM Bridgestone Ecopias. Burns ~10-15% more gas in comparison thou.
Spend the extra $ and get the Kuhmos. Kumho Ecsta PA51 is pretty good for a budget UHP tire. It does seem a bit weak on winter traction though….
I had the general altimax on my old Lincoln LS. They were great and would go again if I need dedicated winters.
I just got the G max RS on my Mk 7 from a dealer. Don’t know too much about track performance but they’re grippy if a little loud while on the highway.
They are great when they are new but as you put miles on them and the tread wears I thought they sucked. I replaced my generals with about half tread life because in the rain they liked to hydroplan.
