Tires RIKEN or GENERAL TIRE

I drive a Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and ran a set of General AltiMAX RT43s to 64,000 miles (3/32” remaining tread). Replaced with RT45s a year ago (13k miles) and they still look new.

Honestly? I've got nothing against Pirelli tires, but the Generals are would be my go to here... They are a better quality tires than those specific Pirellis... Ride better, be quieter, last longer...

I ran a General Altimax (AS??) on one of my older cars and at the time was plenty happy with it.

I am a big fan of General tires in general in the moderate budget category... they are a great cost to benefit tire and part of Continental tires.

The Grabber HTS 60 is a great tire... as long as you don't have to deal with winter conditions.

Recently bought some Rikens(Japanese tyre company that is now owned by Michelin and made in EU) for my wife's car and they are smooth AF.

I had General Altimax Arctic 12s for 2 years and didn’t switch them out in the summer. Surprisingly great performance on all the dirt roads and still held traction on their second winter season.

I had the general altimax on my old Lincoln LS. They were great and would go again if I need dedicated winters.

I have the generals.  All day today, I was like wtf is everyone driving so slow.  Plenty of grip, predictable and balanced slip.  A literal joy on a -40 day in Edmonton.

quite good in wet braking but lack a bit in comfort.

I really want to avoid General Altimax tires because I have them on my Impala and they flat spot with just minimal sitting !! Man I hate that, Have to drive a few miles before it stops , just a pain in the ass... I want to avoid ANY tire that does this !
