Tires DUNLOP or GENERAL TIRE
I put on a set of General Altimax tires and there was a massive difference in driveability in the snow.
We are going with General Altimax RT45s on our 2025 Model 3 LR RWD. Grand touring, 700 A A, XL load. Well rated. Good price.
We replaced the OEM Firestones with a set of General AltiMAX RT45 all-seasons and they have been fantastic so far on our 2019. Quieter than the Firestones and excellent in both dry and wet.
General Altimax 365AW are the best bang for the buck in my opinion. Great snow performance (WI checking in here).
I run the same General tires. Before that, it was the RT43. Yes, the are not performance tires. What I have experienced is they get better mileage, and last a long time.
I got the Altimaxes on my older Escape, and have been very happy with them. Quieter and better handling than the Coopers they replaced.
The Dunlop is a decent tire. Not a front runner but about the same tier as the Hankooks. Pretty decent in the wet. Does not age well.
I have a fifth BBS CH on my GTI, I probably should change that tire with a new 225/40/18...I've used it a few times already since I bought a used dunlop tire back in 2013ish sometime when I went to all the used tire shops in the area to get that tire.
I personally experienced a blow out from Dunlop tires in the 90’s. Although they have improved since then i still wouldnt risk it.
Brand new set of General GS-05's that had <100 miles on them. I was literally a mile from home when I heard the sound of something hitting the underside of the d/s rear quarter. Got home and pulled in the driveway, and the rear tire was flat. Turns out I ran over someone's vape pen, and it cut a perfect 3/8" diameter hole in my tire.
