I have had excellent results with General Altimax tires, absolutely excellent. I’ve used them on five different vehicles (pickup, two SUVs, and two sedans - one RWD, one FWD) since 2014. I currently have a set of RT45s on one of our current vehicles (SUV), and they’re just as good as can be.
They are correct, get the Generals! I have a 2002 Mercedes S500 and they are wonderful all season tires. Hold tight around corners at highway speeds and they do well for a rear wheel drive in the rain. I've had the Michelins and Goodyears and the General Altimax are amazing tires and they are a great value for what they are.
The 999 rear does skid out much easier then the Dunlop American elite, however I like to skid so that is a pro for me. I ran thru 2 Dunlop elites quite quickly. For the record I did like the Dunlop AE, just didn’t like replacing it every season
The Elites are a much better tire and I’m going to miss them when they’re gone.
I run Dunlop American Elites. Mind you, I do so because it’s a good tire - not so much a ‘Made in America’ reason, albeit a plus.
But the GT ones are by far and away the very best I've had. They're very quiet, have a low rolling resistance, so great for EVs, and the handling in snow is incredible! It's almost like there is no snow even when riding on it.
Dunlop SP Sport J6, my go to for budget tyres. The wet and dry performance is good although it can get a bit noisy over time.
It was ok up to about 35000 miles. After that, They dangerously hydroplane like crazy. But those first 30000, I really didn’t have much issues.
Absolute garbage in winter here in central new york. Need one say more. Summer tire in warm wet conditions are satisfactory. Cold dry conditions they have a slight slippery feel and if there's any cold wet conditions like below 50 they tend to move the car around.
Having worked at a Porsche dealership I’ve seen Dunlops wear out ridiculously fast. I’d be looking at a comparable Michelin or Conti to replace it with.
