Tires NANKANG or GENERAL TIRE

I had the General Altimax HP's on my X3 and they were a way better than the Conti's they replaced. Every set of Conti's I've ever had make way too much noise. :thumbup::thumbup: on the General's

My next set of tires is going to be Generals. Had two sets of them on my last car and love them. Toyo Proxe's were too soft, the Bridgestone Potenza RE950 was a fave but too costly. And Goodyeear Assurance can just **** it. My Generals were Altimax HP's and were amazing in wet, dry, snow, handling, noise, tread wear. At least compared to all the others I've had over the year (to many to count). They were the only tires I bought twice because I usually jump around. General G Max AS-03

I went with General G-MAX AS-03 for my GTI. I like them because they are still on the cheaper end of the market but have good consumer reviews and the warranty is better than most of the tires you listed. General has a cheaper touring tire but I wanted to stick to another set of performance rates AS tires like the stock Pirelli set that was replaced.

I've had no issues with all season 17's on mine, but when I put the General Altimax Arctics on the car, it was FANTASTIC.

Get Ns1's. Handle heavy load, stretch well, and respond well to over inflation.

I also have Altimax Arctics on my A3 and it performed really well during last week when we got 6-10 inches of snow in Denver area. I have to tell you though, handling and confidence in dry is non existent compared to summer tires, but no winter tire will do that well. One negative about this tire is that it is louder than the Dunlop Wintersport 3D (the performance winter tires)

I have the altimax on my GTI, drove them all of last winter and put them on for Snowtober this past week. Great in snow/ice and pretty good in the dry as well. Not that noisy at all...

Haven't had the WS70 but had the WS60 last year, and I loved them. Got the Altimax this year and although I haven't had them in snow yet, I like them better already. Definitely quieter and they look better/meatier at the same time. Really excited to get them in some snow I think the new generation Blizzak may be marginally better than the last, but I scoured the internet for months reading up on the Altimax's and couldn't find anything but stellar reviews.

Ive had them on the car for 2 weeks not 215/35/18. Yeah probably aren't great in the snow, and they are only rated to H but Im not going above hundred ever. Bid Deal. They do stretch GREAT and Thats honestly the reason why i got them:thumbup:. If you read the reviews they are decent but not crappy by any means. I'm running -2.5 degrees in the rear on air ride and I'm not spending $500-$800 to go through tires in 10k miles

I had Nankangs on my Honda Civic (195/50/15). They were very hard, poor wet traction, marginal dry traction. I wouldn't buy them again.
