Tires Nexen or GENERAL TIRE

My initial impression of the Generals is that they are quite comfortable. Compared to the PSS, I think they definitely provide a better ride in normal driving situations. I’ve seen this is chalked up to a softer sidewall, and I can confirm that. Noise levels are good too.

In spirited driving, I think the Generals are perfect for the street. The main detractor I noticed is that they are a bit more vague than the PSS in the initial turn-in before providing that on-rails feeling of holding grip through corners. My unofficial test for grip is seeing if I can double the recommended speed that you can see on a sweeping on ramp or exit. The Generals delivered without much drama. These tires are perfectly at home on a windy back road as well.

After one week of ownership I purchased a new set of General Altimax rt43's (replaced the OEM Conti's) that are rated V, max 149 mph. They have worn like iron, have great grip and are very quiet, even after 20k miles.

I've been happy with General Altimax RT43 tires on my previous cars, good balance of quality and price for an all around tire.

I've been running general g max as-05s and been pleasantly surprised with their performance. Nothing close to the 200 treadwear summers I've run, but decent for an all season.

I have put General Altimax tires on my older hatchback and think they're pretty good.

Nokian (any of their winters), Blizzaks (any of their winters), michelin x-ice or General Artic winter tires are the 4 brands that I stick to for winter tires. Nokian is hands down the best, Blizzaks and Michelin are a real close 2nd and 3rd and the generals are a solid budget tire that I used to run on my 240sx in ottawa way back in day. (I currently run General Grabbers on my pickup and they are better than the bfgoodrich that are nearly 100$ more a tire).

I currently have General Altimax Arctic, studded, on my 2013. So far they have been great, but we will see how they go in deeper snow.

I had a set of Nexen Winguard Sport 2 on my Golf R and had no issues with them in Vancouver, BC winter.

I've sold a ton of Nexen tires and used them on all my loaner cars. I never buy the N5000's though. I stick to the Classe Premier line so CP641 and CP672 tires. I use them on my mother in law's Jetta and I have the Nexen Rodian HP on my Wife's MB R350. Decent tires. Not the best but for the price, they work very well.

So I had to unfortunately change two of my 215/60R16 General Altimax RT43 95H tires because I hit a huge pothole that put a bulge on the side of the tire.
