Rating 4.0

These are exactly what I'm running on my Polestar. They're a bit louder than the stock Michelins and are a little less efficient but handle great and are outstanding in the snow.

Pros: handle great, outstanding snow
Cons: louder, less efficient

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I just replaced my General Altimax 43s with Hankooks and I miss them. The General's were pretty decent in the snow and I had better gas mileage than I have now with the Hankooks. The only downside was they only lasted about 60,000 miles.

Pros: decent in snow
Cons: only 60,000 miles
Mileage: 60000 km

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I have the General Altimax on my 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S, and they are always surprised to hear I have been about 60k miles on them and the tread is still viable to pass inspection etc.

Pros: long lasting tread
Mileage: 60000 km

I've got the Generals on my Jetta GLI. I had higher performance tires but kept getting bubbles on the awful New England roads. I'm pretty happy with them. You definitely give up a little bit of grip/road feel on dry roads but they're comfortable for daily driving and the value factor is nice. If you're looking for something that's going to suit you on a day-to-day or commuter type basis I'd recommend them.

Pros: comfortable, nice value
Cons: less grip/road feel

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I drive a Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and ran a set of General AltiMAX RT43s to 64,000 miles (3/32” remaining tread). Replaced with RT45s a year ago (13k miles) and they still look new.

Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 64000 km

MICHELIN Tires

Just have these on for ~2 months

Handling in dry is still pretty good, not as sharp as the stock one for sure, but good enough for me

Heard that they are good inthe wet. I went through couple rainy days and felt like it's quite easy to get hydroplane.

Car didn't lose control, but I have never realised those water puddles in the past with other tires

Not sure whether it's a good thing or not

Pros: good handling in dry
Cons: easy to get hydroplane

MICHELIN Tires

I came here looking for advice on other tire brands because I just got back from a garage after having a Michelin Primacy blowout, at speed, on the interstate, come to find that blowouts are pro rated. I only have 20k on these tires and that’s fuckin’ bullshit.

Cons: blowout at speed
Mileage: 20000 km
