Tires GENERAL TIRE or VITOUR
Vitour P1 has you covered. Fastest Super 200 tire out this season (check out GRM review). Also, they don't slow down when hot, and they're lasting longer than a y other options.
I may try the vitour next tire set. They sure preach they are fast and long wearing. Their prices are a little less than my 71RS so I guess worth a shot.
I have personally used General GTR Thunder Max, comes under warranty and performs very well on high speeds.
I had the RT43s on our old Civic because they were rated really well in the rain (they were great) and they Lasted somewhere around 110k kms. They still had tread at this point but we're almost to the wear bars and we're getting noisy so I replaced them.
I moved to the Vitour P1 last season. They're finally sanctioned this year. But more than that, holy hell do they last forever.
Nothing faster (they're on par with the a052). And yet... They last.
I did five events and 6,500 miles street and there's hardly any wear. As in, there's an etched swordfish logo on the tread block that's not even 1/32 deep and it's still visible!
I ran them in the remnants of Hurricane Helene (NC here) and had no issues even on the highway. Their cheesy named "water laser" technology seems to actually work.
I just put General Grabber QT/X and the best truck tires and I live in the middle of the snow belt.
Put on a set of general altimax rt45 on our 23 mY LR awd and couldn't be happier.
Wow, someone else asking about the General Altimax. the answer is YES! they are an excellent brand for the value. I have a 2002 Mercedes S500. They are wonderful tires and held up better than the Michelin or Goodyears. Excellent wet traction for a rear wheel drive car. I swear by them.
Had Generals that would get a flat spot in colder weather. Not sure if much has changed in 10 years, but it definitely put me off General for a while....
Do not recommend unless you can get a lot of heat into them. even on warm days they would need some time to get grip. If you're in Alaska I could see them not working well for like 8 months out of the year, and they're really expensive too.
