Tires RIKEN or GENERAL TIRE

Tires like the Riken Raptor are a soft tire and performance minded, but not full on track tire (300tw). They perform quite well, but at the same time, are dirt cheap.

Michelin X-Ice. Haven't found anything better. No amount of Canadian snow or ice has been able to stop my SUV and when those are on, and I live in a hilly area.\n\nI have General Artimaax on my other car, they are ok, but road noise is insane. Won't buy those again.

Been using General Altimax Arctics and love them vs non-studded tires.

I have General Altimax Artics. Because they are seasonal they last a long time.

The original tires were getting slippery so put in new General all season the fall of 2024. Now handles top notch.

I've been happy with General G Max on a few cars and going to continental extreme contact dws 06 plus next set of shoes on whatever car needs them first.

In my experience the best bang for your buck summer tire is the Riken Raptor. They're about $100 a pop and have great dry grip. Downside is that they're not amazing in very wet conditions.

Riken Raptor ZR A/S RF. These tires were under $400 for a SET (about $86 per tire). 300tw. Aggressive tire pattern. And they are a solid performer for canyon carving. I drove them about 4000 miles over a week this past summer around MATG including some pretty aggressive backroad driving and they held up VERY well. Insanely well given the price.

I do have good experience with true winter tires (General Tire ArctiMax) and I will say that they will still slide even at slower speeds if it's ice and hard packed snow and you're aggressive enough with the controls.

I’ve got the generals and they are absolute shit in the snow up here in the north. Swapping them out this week. For the 6 months I had them without snow they felt great for a highway tire
