Tires Firestone or GENERAL TIRE
General Grabber Arctic LTs for snow and ice. I also run KO2s in the summer, but they don't have great stopping power on icy or snow-packed roads. The Arctic LTs are just amazing in those conditions, I'm really happy with them as a winter tire.
I like my General GRABBER A/TX. Cheapest of the litter but still does pretty good.
Went with the Altimax RT45 with my original wheels. Only 55 miles so far, but I’m pretty happy with them. They're not as responsive as my old Bridgestone RE950s, but handle reasonably well and are quieter and smoother.
I've driven about 200 miles on my new Weatherpeaks on my stock Subaru Outback. I was shocked with how good the tires performed in the downpour. On very wet roads with massive puddles, the Weatherpeaks felt like my old tires did on completely dry roads. Grip was fantastic. No slipping at all. Even when I hit really large puddles at speed I didn't hydroplane. The tires do feel slightly "softer" in the turns when its dry than the stock tires but they still feel great...and are a much smoother and quieter ride overall. Even on dry roads I feel like the car has better control.
Notably less road noise than the fire Stones I had before and pretty good grip. I'm happy with them.
We changed our Yoko's out at 1300 miles. Very happy with the General 365AW's we replaced them with, they handle almost as well in the snow as the Michelin XiceSnow tires on our other car.
I have all weather tires by general tires. They work well. Main issue for my 2014 F56 is ground clearance.
All weather tires are a thing now, they’re between a dedicated winter tire and all season. They tend to do just as well in the snow as a dedicated winter tire but not as well on ice, but still better than an all season. The best part is they’re meant to be run all year round and are incredible in the rain as well. They do tend to be a little noisier than an all season and have a bit of tread squirm which you can feel on turn in. I run them on my daily and as soon as I hit the brakes for the first time in the snow I was completely sold, never going back to all seasons again.
I have been a fan of the Conti Pro Contacts before, as well as Pilot Sport A/S 3+. A decent budget tire is the General Gmax, however in my experience they get pretty loud as they wear.
They are great when they are new but as you put miles on them and the tread wears I thought they sucked. I replaced my generals with about half tread life because in the rain they liked to hydroplan.
