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.
Altimax Arctic 12s on steelies has been my winter outfit for the last decade. Handles Kansan winters just fine, as well as my hilly driveway. Drove through Loveland Pass during a blizzard, no problems.
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.
They seem to grip decent once warmed up, but they are a bit on the loud side.
Federal tires to add sa mga choices
In size 225/40 (r18), their thread width is comparable to other makers ~205. Well, does it matter? Yes, in the sense that when you install them onto an 8.5 wide rim, you'll notice that you're stretching the fit, and the sweating starts. Installing a tire alone with a basic tire machine is no longer possible.
