Tires SUMITOMO or GENERAL TIRE

I have General Grabber tires on my 2016, and they are great. Low noise, good on the street even on wet roads. They are also very, very good off road.

Altimax Arctic 12s on steelies has been my winter outfit for the last decade. Handles Kansan winters just fine, as well as my hilly driveway. Drove through Loveland Pass during a blizzard, no problems.

I put on a set of General Altimax tires and there was a massive difference in driveability in the snow.

We are going with General Altimax RT45s on our 2025 Model 3 LR RWD. Grand touring, 700 A A, XL load. Well rated. Good price.

We replaced the OEM Firestones with a set of General AltiMAX RT45 all-seasons and they have been fantastic so far on our 2019. Quieter than the Firestones and excellent in both dry and wet.

General Altimax 365AW are the best bang for the buck in my opinion. Great snow performance (WI checking in here).

I run the same General tires. Before that, it was the RT43. Yes, the are not performance tires. What I have experienced is they get better mileage, and last a long time.

I got the Altimaxes on my older Escape, and have been very happy with them. Quieter and better handling than the Coopers they replaced.

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 have them but they are incredibly thin. I’ve already had to replace a set of them due to how thin the sidewall is. I wouldn’t buy them again
