Tires Kumho or GENERAL TIRE

BUT the General RT43s are cheaper, long life, and offer better performance.

Blizzaks and X-Ice are great tires but rather expensive, there are some great cheaper alternatives (General Tire Altimax Arctic)

I highly recommend General Altimax Arctic.

I ordered some General Grabber Arctic XL. They are studdable tires, so may not fit your needs. Mainly got them because I used to run General Altimax Arctic on my sportwagon and they've been great. If they perform similar to the Altimax they are pretty good on the pavement, and great in all bad weather conditions and last a long time.

The General Altimax Arctic is a previous gen Nokian design, and very good for the price.

Can go wrong with Nokians, in my opinion. I've had several sets on Saabs, my JSW, Touareg, and currently run studded Hakkepellitas on the wife's fwd GSW 5 speed. I ran General artic studdless on my GSW 4 motion 6 speed last winter and was pleased with the performance of those as well.

Agree on this but don't forget that General is owned by Continental so a lot of the same technology goes into their tires

I actually have the Kuhmos on my 530, and I've been pretty happy with them. Very quiet and seem to grip well. Just my two cents.

Generally the only times I've had issues with Kumho is on lower profile tires giving on the sidewall, but generally they are an all around good tire

The kuhmo solus are the worst tires I've ever seen cost way to much for what they actually do for mileage. I've seen brand new kia's with <20k miles need brand new tires after being factory equipped with Solus's.
