Tires Sava or GENERAL TIRE

I've had good luck with a set of General tires on my A4. The General tires cost less and perform better in every way so far.

My go to budget tire are the General Altimax RT45s. I’ve had them and Michelin cross climate 2s and Nokian tires. The generals are a great value and wear nicely. They aren’t CC2s but do the job fine as an all around tire and the reviews and tests back that up and they handle snow pretty well.

I've had General GMAX AS 05's, Continental ECS AS and currently running Michelin PS4 AS. I live in NY, in a small apartment no garage, ND is my daily so I run one set of tires.

The General tires is a sub brand of Continental, they were cheaper than the ECS but honestly were great, I had these after the Continentals and I'd get the Generals over the ECS if on a budget.

General Altimax Arctic 12 are 97% as good as Blizzak for about 75% of the price.

My wife's Audi has unstoppable General Altimax Artic claw studded. Also a great tire and less expensive than hakkas or Michelin.

General Grabber ATx. I use em on my daily, ZERO complaints. Done a good job on mid, sand, and on icy Missouri roads.

I\u2019ve always had very good luck with a General Altimax RT45 long lasting quiet, good tire and a good price. Currently using the General AW 365 been very good in the snow so far. I have a 2016 Kia forte LX.

For a Volt on hilly snowy roads, the best “cheap but actually works” winter tire I’ve used is the General Altimax Arctic 12. It’s one of the few budget winter tires that still digs in on steep climbs and icy starts, and it wears slower than most entry-level options.

By comparison to the Continental Pure Contacts, the General RT45s:

\u2705 Cornering feels tighter and faster

\u2705 Traction seems about equal

\u274c Do not feel as \"supple\". Slightly harsher when going over rough pavement

\u274c Do not seem to coast as long

\u274c Slightly noisier

I'm aware these are crap, and chunking as fuck, and that they are old and a budget brand called Sava. I won't use them, cause I'm a scraddycat and don't want to risk my ass, car or family for a pair of tires, which in the long run is not that much of money in Eustern Europe where I'm at.
