Tires MICHELIN or GENERAL TIRE

I have 19 in wheels on my lux and found Michelin lattitudes would get 40+ Miles.

I'm running the older Altimax Arctic on my 06 Legacy wagon and the new Arctic 12 on my 17 CX-5 awd. Agree 100%. They are excellent all-around winter tires, but far from a performance winter tire.

I run Michelin Pilot Sport 4’s all year round in the UK with no issues. Good tyres.

I'm in the Boston area as well (NW), running General Altimax Arctic 12s in 225/45/18 for a bit more sidewall. They've been excellent in the snow, I just need to remember not to go all in on dry on ramps.

I highly recommend Michelin A/S 3+ all weathers. They are amazing, my only issue so far is that they’re a little loud (road noise in the summer), but they have incredible grip, and seem to hold out great given the crazy weather.

Have you experienced any issues with the Michelins? I run them and they have been flawless.

I never had to use more than an ounce and a half on any of the name brand tires I mounted. Never needed more than a half ounce on Michelins.

I went with Pilot Sport 4's, as the 4S isn't available in 18" size. Absolutely fantastic tires. They have more grip and feel in the wet than the Nankangs that the car came with had IN THE DRY. You can really play with the too, when it's wet. Doesn't really eat the surface then, and the car is very controllable and fun to drift. In the dry they are amazing. Can't even compare them to anything else I've driven. Comfort and noise are good on the road, and the tire is stiff enough to take it to the track occasionally.

I got 35K miles on my 2012 OEMs GYs and bgt michelin Lattitudes as replacements that had 30K+ miles when I traded in for emissions scandal and they still had plenty of thread. They are not bad considering the weight of the car.

I have the Altimax HP on my jetta right now. They ride smooth, but has some road roar noise- but not overly bad. Handling is decent and wet traction is very good. Only complaint is that it has been balanced 2x now and I still have vibrations (only) at speeds above 70mph.
