I went for General Altimax RT45 year round on our Bolt. The price was right, they have good longevity and did well in Tire Rack's tests. Slight dip in range to the tune of ~5-10 miles. Just good all-arounders at nice price. They outdid the Defender 2 in Tire Rack's tests.
I also run General Tires Grabber HTS60 for the Summer, as these were highly rated by Consumer Reports (which I use religiously), and I mostly pull an RV trailer (5,500 lbs) on the highway. They too have been great.
I just ordered a set of tires + rims from Quattro Tire.
This is probably the 8th order from them over the years. Shipping takes about a week, arrives via courier to your door.
I have them in a 235/75R15. I love them. Way quieter than the General Grabbers I had.
General tires are the best out in my opinion. Even though they are owned by Continental they are a separate entity that does their own thing. The past 5 years I think general is the best because of quality, balance well, good tread life, quiet, etc.
I currently have Altimax RT-45 tires on my Golf Sportwagen (TDI, 6 speed manual). I used to use all-weather tires like Toyota Celsius, which are great for moderate snow. But winters in New England have gotten so less snowy that the Generals are excellent. Good handling, good in the rain, quiet.
I've been running General Tire Altmax Artic Snows year round for maybe 5+ years on the same vehicle (no replacement, same tires, not even rotating).
I had Michelin before
The General tires on my IONIQ5 are silent on dry road and delivers just as good in général comparing Michelin or Toyo which I had on my car previously
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....
General Grabber already getting a bad rep esp for cold weather and wearing fast on gravel.
