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.
I have had excellent luck with General Altimax Arctic and Nokian Nordman winter tires.
I like my General Grabbers personally but I do about 5% off roading in CO on difficult trails. Got a full 48k miles off the last pair and I do a lot of road driving too so was impressed
Look at maybe Nexen or General for a cheaper alternative that is more reliable.
If you want a solid, inexpensive replacement that won’t break the bank, the General Altimax RT45 is a great all-season option and runs about $131 each at Discounted Wheel Warehouse, which is a nice step up in safety without spending Michelin money.
Federals will be really noisy after a few thousand miles. Almost like your wheel bearings don’t exist anymore. Had rs-rr and 615k+. 615k+ is better. Both are way off pace but great budget tires. 615k+ is actually a pretty good tire for hpde.
Currently running the General 365aw, and they've been pretty good. I don't think they were as good as the nokians in the snow. (Mind you, we don't get a lot of snow here, it's mostly very wet snow when we do).
I have them but they are incredibly thin. I’ve already had to replace a set of them due to how thin the sidewall is. I wouldn’t buy them again
