I've only ever tried 1 - General Altimax Artic. I drove on them through the Rockies for 4 ski seasons, no studs. Can't imagine needing anything more. My Subaru felt unstoppable... but also completely stoppable! I could turn and brake just fine. Felt like I was on pavement. Almost no fun because I couldn't even get the car to drift!
I second the suggestion of General Grabbers, I replaced mine after 12 years with life still in them.
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.
Since your new one is a Vredestein Quatrac Pro+, I’d pick up another Quatrac Pro+ for the rear so both sides wear evenly and you avoid noise/vibration.
I put these on a couple weeks ago and was amazed this weekend just how well they handle in the snow and the cold. They felt a little weird for the first couple days after getting them put on, but now I never expected a rwd sports car to handle so well in the snow. Love them!
Very happy I have the vredesteins a try because I was super happy with them.
dude i also run these! I love them, def doesn't seem like they get much attention or consideration but they are awesome and i feel so confident in winter with these on the car, im on my third winter with them!
I\u2019ve got these on my ND as well. Absolutely love them. They perform great in the snow, and aren\u2019t too soft and mushy when it\u2019s dry.
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
My rebate was denied as my invoice failed audit, currently in a battle with Vredestein...also 2 put of 4 tires I got were defective, stay away and get Michelins...
