Tires Achilles or GENERAL TIRE
I run General Altimax arctics which are kind of budget but I have never gotten stuck.
I went with General Altimax RT-43's (H speed versions). Are they as good as the Michelins they replaced feeling wise? No. But they were affordable, have been lasting quite nicely in terms of tread life, and have been working out just fine for my uses.
My F150 came with General Grabber HTS60’s. Highway-biased all season tire, but it’s not afraid to go through a little snow - so rain should be fine. Nice, quiet highway ride.
I've been happy with General Grabber HTS60 for the last 2 years
General Grabber HTS60
Good reviews on tire rack and consumer reports and more affordable than Continental Terrain Contact H/T or the Michelin Defender LTX M/S although slightly less mileage warranty.
I put about 10 laps on a set of Achilles all seasons on stock power at my last drift event and the tires still look new. I had heard bad things about Achilles but so far so good for me.
Achilles tires are really lightweight and can take some abuse
General Grabber AT2's but they don't make my size anymore so this will unfortunately be the last set for me. Great tires though.
I have been a fan of the Conti Pro Contacts before, as well as Pilot Sport A/S 3+. A decent budget tire is the General Gmax, however in my experience they get pretty loud as they wear.
I've had bad experiences with 2 out of 5 General Tire Exclaim UHP's I've bought. First tire had a terrible vibration from day 1. When the tire shop mounted my tires, they said one balanced fine, but may have a "hop" at highway speed. Well, the "hop" was very noticeable. When the wheel was on the back, the car shook so bad on the highway I literally could not drink coffee without spilling on myself. When the wheel was mounted on the front, the steering wheel would shake so bad my hands would go numb. I had this tire replaced under warranty and the car drove great. A couple weeks ago, after coming into town from a highway commute, I could hear a loud rhythmic humming at around 50 km/h. Tire shop again tried re-balancing this wheel with no improvement. Tire has hardly any wear and wheel itself looks to be in great condition. I didn't hit any rocks of potholes before this started. This is getting really annoying. I just want a reliable tire.
