Tires SUMITOMO or GENERAL TIRE

My Sumitomo Ice Edges have been doing phenomenal for a more budget snow tire this winter

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.

Best snow and ice tire I\u2019ve used have been Sumitomo Ice Edge. They are studdable and they are way cheaper than the major brands. I\u2019ve got them on my 01 Jetta and 04 L300. I\u2019ve had Blizzaks but they are pricey and the Firestone Wnterforces were meh.

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.

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
