Tires Kumho or GENERAL TIRE
General Artic Altimax have been my go to for years now quite successfully, great bang for the buck. Just put a set on my 08 B6 3.6 VR6 4Motion wagon and I'm ready for anything.
If you want a Decent tire I would suggest the general tires 365AW grand touring tire they are 3 peak severe snow service rated touring tire with a 540 treadwear so they're not a dedicated snow tire but will do the exact same and you'll also be able to use them year round without them being too soft.
I like General tires for the most part and dislike Goodyear.
I've run about 6 sets of General Grabber ATX - good tires
Highly rate Kumhos and have happily put them on anything from my daily to my high performance 4wd fun car.
I just did the same switch about 2 weeks ago now. I agree with wet performance, they are fantastic. My two biggest differences I've noticed are the Gmax have a tendency to feel a bit floaty on very specific pavement patterns at highway speed.
I got a set of Kumho WINTERCRAFT ICE Wi31 from Quattro Tires which have been great for me. Quiet and good traction in snow.
I got my RX-7 a set of General Altimax RT43. For the past few thousand miles, no complaints.
I've had cheap Kumho ECSTA AST's. That you get what you paid for, when money is tight. Their ECSTA Platinum LX was a much better tire, and actually didn't have wear issues which the PQ46 chassis is known for (feathering). Decent grip.
Kumho tires don’t last, the rubber cracks out.
