Tires Pirelli or GENERAL TIRE

General Altimax Artics - when I needed them I was broke. Never gotten stuck in places where I really should have gotten stuck.

General Altimax Arctic12s here. I used to have some studded Hakkapelitas on my old Forester, but I've been really pleased with how these work studless

I run General Altimax Arctics because that is what they had in stock when I went in to get winter tires. I have no complaints; they were cheap, and I have not gotten stuck despite driving around where I shouldn't.

I do a decent amount of gravel or clay road driving with some but less sand too. Decided to go Pirelli Scorpion A/T plus and there's been no issues at stock hieght.

I am on my third different set of 19" M+S tires on my 2017 Golf R - and I am also a Tahoe area skier - first I had the Continental ExtremeContact DWS - they were good. Then I tried the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus Revised Compound X -- they were better -- actually one time I went over Mt Rose in a white-out blizzard, on top of at least 2" of ice, and the Pirellis gave me great traction and handling.

Also I have put those gmax tires on older 911s and had no complaints and my coworker has them on his sti and loves them .

I am using the All Season G-Max on my 2015 Lancer Evolution GSR. They handle great in the back roads.

I got 40,000 miles on the stock Falkens including snow and ice with conservative driving. Replaced with Pirelli Cinturado Strada "all season*"225/50/r17 from Discount tire for slightly larger tirewheel and wider tire (1/4" more clearance, a liffle more float in sand) but mostly the 70,000 mile warranty. I calculate (by gps and road markers) this gives me about 103% on miles (ie speedo reads a bit low) and I can feel the lower torque vs before. Def a harder compound than the Falkens, so I dont drive as aggressively in corners.

My Mustang came with those and I do not recommend driving on them at below +5c degrees. I drove at 1-2 degrees and the car felt very loose and slidy when turning, even at lower speeds.

I own a few cars that I have P Zeros on. Forget snow, when it's below about 45F or so they don't hook up, when it's below freezing they're hard, and when temps are in the single digits/teens they're downright scary.
