Tires Toyo or GENERAL TIRE

Ended up going in a completely different direction. Found the Toyo Open County AT2 for 20% off, making it significantly cheaper. Couldn't say no given the price.

Last week I replaced OE Conti Pro Contact which still had decent thread left but were uncomfortably noisy with General Altimax RT43 and boy what a difference in ride quality, handling and incredibly quiet.

I’ve found the General G-Max AS-03 to be an awesome tire, on my 2nd set since the OEM Dunlop’s but the new AS-05 will be the replacement.

i have the toyo m/t's. they're 37x13.5 r17 and they ride super smooth. you can definitely hear them a little bit but they are the least noisey m/t tires i've owned. i've also been told by multiple shops / people that i have one of the smoothest riding lifted trucks they've ever driven. so that says something about these tires. i'd personally recommend them

The General Gmax AS-05's perform extremely well. The Michelin's are still top dog don't get me wrong, they have better braking, lateral grip, as well as wet grip, but if you want 95% of the the AS 3+'s and save (usually) a couple hundred dollars on a new set of tires the AS-05's are my pick.

I just ordered a set of General Tire G-MAX AS-05 for my Bolt. With 28,000 miles of wear on the factory tires, I can feel it starting to hydroplane in heavy rain. I'm swapping before something worse than "starting to hydroplane" happens. And I'm looking forward to it being a *lot more fun* to drive.

I'm running the older Altimax Arctic on my 06 Legacy wagon and the new Arctic 12 on my 17 CX-5 awd. Agree 100%. They are excellent all-around winter tires, but far from a performance winter tire.

I'm in the Boston area as well (NW), running General Altimax Arctic 12s in 225/45/18 for a bit more sidewall. They've been excellent in the snow, I just need to remember not to go all in on dry on ramps.

Another vote for the Generals. My CRV seems to ride like **** and handle like dog-**** with them on, but I love the abuse.

Whatever you do, don't buy Toyo tires. They do not go well with the Sonic....worst traction of any tire I've ever had on a car in my 45 years of driving.
