I have run the GMax before I got a dedicated set of wheels and they did really well, well balanced and still held up for daily driving.
Bridgestone Blizzaks. You will love the grip they provide.
At 45 degrees and below a regular all season tire will start to harden and lose grip, even on bare pavement. If you live somewhere where it gets cold get the Blizzaks
They are fine. After we moved to Phoenix from Idaho I put them on every winter just to use them up and they lasted quite a few years - they still had lots of tread left when I got tired of storing them every year
I love me my Bridgestone Weatherpeaks all-weather tiresI live in Southern California near the beach where it doesn’t snow, but make frequent road trips during the winter to Mammoth and Big Bear where it can snow heavily at times. 70 degree weather to drive to the 20-30 degree mountains in snowy conditions and these handle like a beast.
General Gmax RS is a great affordable tire, I use them on my car for everyday use and have auto crossed them a few times with good results.
If you want the best, Michelin X-Ice are considered the best for icy conditions and Bridgestone Blizzaks are the best for deeper snow. I'm on my 2nd set of Blizzaks and I loooovvee them. I get excited when it snows hard so I can get some snow driving and hand brake turns in.
The tire pressure light came on but upon Reset so far so good. The slightly larger size gives the car a nicer and quieter ride. Should also last longer due to greater load carrying capacity. The Goodyears were good for 28K miles. If it were summer I probably let them go till 30K.
I’ve driven a wide variety of winter tires. Bridgestone, GoodYear, Firestone, Cooper, Michelin, Continental, and one or two others. Some were quieter, some were better on ice, some were better in deep snow. None were terrible. If you go with major brand names, that are not much over 5 years old, you should be ok.
I remember going hot into a turn, getting on the brakes, and sliding sideways with no warning. It wasn't that fast, but still a bit disturbing. I replaced them this year with a much newer set of S04 PP.
