Recently purchased two Goodyear RSA from Walmart that were in sale. So far so good. The ride is nice and comfortable.
Update 6 months later: I haven't gotten a chance to test them in snow despite getting them in January. It was a very mild winter. But I noticed immediately how much better they handled in the rain. Compared to those these made a real difference and I felt safer. I don't notice any more noise with these.
Basically, both are pretty good tires and at an equal price or a little bit more, I'd take the Generals...
Just ditched the OEM set of Goodyears on our Atlas this weekend for a set of Michelins, do it. Don't let tires hold back enjoyment of a vehicle.
If you have a Walmart, Goodyear Reliant tires. They are Goodyear's Walmart exclusive tire. I have run about 5k on mine and so far, so good. Quiet, good grip, solid warranty. Better than my original tires that csme eith my car new.
Went with the Generals and have been getting anecdotally very good efficiency.
I have these tires on my 01 Tahoe and they are a beast. Love em, especially in the snow in Michigan's upper peninsula. I take care of a camp about a third of a mile in on unpaved road and these things run me in there with snow bumper high like it ain't no thing. Muddy in the spring, same deal. Comfy on pavement, not a bad thing to say about them.
I just got 4 General AltiMax RT45 installed on my 2008 Pontiac vibe. All date codes are 3523, so they are pretty fresh. Only put about 300 miles on them so far. I like them, car handles rain, had slight snow nothing crazy, and dry, drives very nice, not loud, but my issue is a *vibration* I never had before.
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.
The stock Goodyear wranglers are shitty tires. I had 4 flats in 6 months with them. And ride quality/handling wasn’t great. But I’m a cheap ass and got 30k miles out of them.
I’ve only purchased Michelin for many years now. When my stock wranglers looked similar to OP’s photo, I put Michelin LTX M/S on and never worried about tires again - until this week.
70,000 miles later and the Michelins are finally at the end of their journey- going to replace them with Michelin Defender LTX since the M/S line is discontinued
