Tires FEDERAL or GENERAL TIRE
I've had General GMAX AS 05's, Continental ECS AS and currently running Michelin PS4 AS. I live in NY, in a small apartment no garage, ND is my daily so I run one set of tires.
The General tires is a sub brand of Continental, they were cheaper than the ECS but honestly were great, I had these after the Continentals and I'd get the Generals over the ECS if on a budget.
General Altimax Arctic 12 are 97% as good as Blizzak for about 75% of the price.
My wife's Audi has unstoppable General Altimax Artic claw studded. Also a great tire and less expensive than hakkas or Michelin.
General Grabber ATx. I use em on my daily, ZERO complaints. Done a good job on mid, sand, and on icy Missouri roads.
I\u2019ve always had very good luck with a General Altimax RT45 long lasting quiet, good tire and a good price. Currently using the General AW 365 been very good in the snow so far. I have a 2016 Kia forte LX.
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 had General Grabbers AT3 and they were great.
I'm running on General Altimax R43 - Grand Touring All Season. Very good tire overall, but when I step hard on the gas pedal, I can't keep the tires from squealing in first gear, even from a roll. It seems the GLI can benefit from a tire with better dry traction.
wrapped them around a set of general grabber atx tires that are 275/70r18 SL rated with 75% tread (33s) and put them on, and well, idk how i feel about them so far. driving on the road so far they’re not that bad, but you can tell they’re 33s and you can hear them, but they’re not that unbearable, but I would prefer for them to be slightly softer.
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.
