Tires OEM Toyota or GENERAL TIRE

I got the Altimaxes on my older Escape, and have been very happy with them. Quieter and better handling than the Coopers they replaced.

I have had excellent luck with General Altimax Arctic and Nokian Nordman winter tires.

I like my General Grabbers personally but I do about 5% off roading in CO on difficult trails. Got a full 48k miles off the last pair and I do a lot of road driving too so was impressed

Look at maybe Nexen or General for a cheaper alternative that is more reliable.

If you want a solid, inexpensive replacement that won’t break the bank, the General Altimax RT45 is a great all-season option and runs about $131 each at Discounted Wheel Warehouse, which is a nice step up in safety without spending Michelin money.

I’ve found general altimax arctics to be a good solution when blizzaks are too much money. Plus these are studdable , if you live in a place where that is allowed. I’ve been running them on my cars for the last 20 years with no issues.

They have been fantastic for me for 14 years.

I just put my winters on, last year mine was an absolute animal in the snow with general altimax arctics on it.

I'm running on General Altimax R43 - Grand Touring All Season. Very good tire overall, but when I step hard on the gas pedal, I can't keep the tires from squealing in first gear, even from a roll. It seems the GLI can benefit from a tire with better dry traction.

I have them but they are incredibly thin. I’ve already had to replace a set of them due to how thin the sidewall is. I wouldn’t buy them again
