For a Volt on hilly snowy roads, the best “cheap but actually works” winter tire I’ve used is the General Altimax Arctic 12. It’s one of the few budget winter tires that still digs in on steep climbs and icy starts, and it wears slower than most entry-level options.
I got a set of Falken Pro G5\u2019s and 20 inch rims when my first set wore out. \nTires and rims were cheaper than a new set of 22\u201d anything. \nNow I can rotate so should get longer life as well.
I had General Grabbers AT3 and they were great.
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.
I moved to Falken Wildpeak AT4W 265/70/17’s on my non-lifted 2020 TRD Sport last year. No rubbing whatsoever.
I had Falken A/T3W on my 2016 primarily for daily driving in rain and snow. On my 2024, I've got Falken R/T because the A/T3W and A/T4W were out of stock and I didn't want to wait. They're not bad, and at least they're C load rating.
They suck on the gas powered 90 as well. Replaced mine at 12K.
If it comes with the oem Falken tires get rid of them immediately as they will wear out very quickly.
