Tires RIKEN or GENERAL TIRE

Ended up with General ALTIMAX 365 AW. Wife wanted a solid ice/snow tire. Best rated tire for snow/ice . Fairly good for Ride quality and noise. Dry/wet driving is not rated as good as other two tires on this list.

I'd recommend Generals. On the recommended by Consumer Reports list for winters and well placed in other tire testing, you can't go wrong with them. Less expensive than Michelin, Bridgestone, etc.

Been using this brand for over a decade.

Reasonably priced. Long lasting, good grip, a little louder than the comparable Michelin tire

I have been buying General Altimax RT43 tires based on a recommendation a few years ago from Consumers Reports. It's a good balance between performance and cost.

I went altimax arctic 12 205/55/16 after reading up.

General ht60 grabbers. On my second pair. Very smooth and quite. I love them and they're a lot less than michelins.

I drive all season high performance in snow and have no issues. General Gmax AS-05 got me over passes while trucks and suv were stuck on the side of the road.

I have two pairs of General tires, the all-weather aw365 and summer gmaxRS and they're both good!

I have the Generals right now and while they're fine for grip and what not, they are very noisy.

In 2010, our shop purchased a brand new Ranger 2.3 and I fitted brand new studded General Altimax Arctic, which were broken in before the first snowstorm. When we had our first snowstorm (heavy, wet snow), I took it out for some errands to see how it would do; it was absolute trash. Driving a straight line was impossible.
