The General Altimax Arctic is a previous gen Nokian design, and very good for the price.
Can go wrong with Nokians, in my opinion. I've had several sets on Saabs, my JSW, Touareg, and currently run studded Hakkepellitas on the wife's fwd GSW 5 speed. I ran General artic studdless on my GSW 4 motion 6 speed last winter and was pleased with the performance of those as well.
Agree on this but don't forget that General is owned by Continental so a lot of the same technology goes into their tires
Thats what I use and love em.
I've personally installed the RT43's on my own family members cars. They were great. Great in the snow, rain, and they are quiet. I don't think they're in the same class as a Michelin Premiere, but for the price they are great tires.
I ran three sets of those tires and never had any issues.
Those winter tires are on all of my cars and they are GREAT!
They have crushed walnut shells embedded in the rubber compound for extra grip and I'm very pleased with them.
They stretch real nice.. handling and ride isnt that great though compared to my Vredstein sporttrac 2's I had.. if you can get those i would look into it. They are awesome tires in every aspect, way above the Toyos..
In 2010, our shop purchased a brand new Ranger 2.3 and I fitted brand new studded General Altimax Arctic, which were broken in before the first snowstorm. When we had our first snowstorm (heavy, wet snow), I took it out for some errands to see how it would do; it was absolute trash. Driving a straight line was impossible.
