Tires OEM Toyota or GENERAL TIRE

My AWD gen5 Prius is surprisingly capable in the ice and snow with the stock all season tires. I live in northern Indiana and just drove home through a blizzard last week. Was able to cruise comfortably at 40mph in pretty much the worst conditions.

On my second RAV4 hybrid, both have performed adequately with winter tires with a few inches of snow on un-plowed roads in New England. The winter tires are the key however as others have said.

Fast forward to my 1st of 3 Ravs with much better snow tires and it was a much better ride. So, Ravs are very decent in snow, no\nIssue\u2026 BUT get good snow tires and I\u2019d stay away from winter rated all-seasons tires if you have to drive in regular snowy areas.

I\u2019ve always had very good luck with a General Altimax RT45 long lasting quiet, good tire and a good price. Currently using the General AW 365 been very good in the snow so far. I have a 2016 Kia forte LX.

For a Volt on hilly snowy roads, the best “cheap but actually works” winter tire I’ve used is the General Altimax Arctic 12. It’s one of the few budget winter tires that still digs in on steep climbs and icy starts, and it wears slower than most entry-level options.

I had General Grabbers AT3 and they were great.

I've only ever tried 1 - General Altimax Artic. I drove on them through the Rockies for 4 ski seasons, no studs. Can't imagine needing anything more. My Subaru felt unstoppable... but also completely stoppable! I could turn and brake just fine. Felt like I was on pavement. Almost no fun because I couldn't even get the car to drift!

I second the suggestion of General Grabbers, I replaced mine after 12 years with life still in them.

I got a 2006 Toyota Solara in June for $4250. 81k miles, one owner. I got new tires and had to change the downpipe/catalytic converter because it had a hole after driving for 2 months.

Brand new set of General GS-05's that had <100 miles on them. I was literally a mile from home when I heard the sound of something hitting the underside of the d/s rear quarter. Got home and pulled in the driveway, and the rear tire was flat. Turns out I ran over someone's vape pen, and it cut a perfect 3/8" diameter hole in my tire.
