Tires Toyo or GENERAL TIRE
I recommend Continental winter contact, General altimax arctic 12 or Toyo observe gsi-6. Top 3 winter tires in my opinion for reliability, tread wear, noise and cost.
If you want a Decent tire I would suggest the general tires 365AW grand touring tire they are 3 peak severe snow service rated touring tire with a 540 treadwear so they're not a dedicated snow tire but will do the exact same and you'll also be able to use them year round without them being too soft.
I like General tires for the most part and dislike Goodyear.
I've run about 6 sets of General Grabber ATX - good tires
I just did the same switch about 2 weeks ago now. I agree with wet performance, they are fantastic. My two biggest differences I've noticed are the Gmax have a tendency to feel a bit floaty on very specific pavement patterns at highway speed.
I’ve had good luck with toyo, not so much with Goodyear
I got my RX-7 a set of General Altimax RT43. For the past few thousand miles, no complaints.
I had pilot sports and switched to the gmax after having blow out after blow out no issue since making the switch. the general tires imo are far sturdier and have way better wet weather performance.
I had a problem where the Generals were 20 dollars a tire more than the Firehawks. I probably gave up some wet traction for higher overall performance in the dry, but it's good to see that the G-Max isn't a bad option, either.
I was originally looking at the new Toyo Observe GSi6 for my winter tires to replace my 6 yo Blizzak DMV2. After further research, I found that the GSi6 tested at or near the bottom of winter tires. Very disappointing for a new tire IMO.
