Tires GT Radial or GENERAL TIRE
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.
I’ve found general altimax arctics to be a good solution when blizzaks are too much money. Plus these are studdable , if you live in a place where that is allowed. I’ve been running them on my cars for the last 20 years with no issues.
They have been fantastic for me for 14 years.
I just put my winters on, last year mine was an absolute animal in the snow with general altimax arctics on it.
If you’re on a budget get some GT Radials from Amazon for like $65-$80 per tire. They’re Chinese tires but they’re one of the better ones. I think I paid about $400 total for my tires and all services and they’ve been really solid for me.
I've gotten Generals winter tires before and they were quite good as well and likely a cheaper option.
By comparison to the Continental Pure Contacts, the General RT45s:
\u2705 Cornering feels tighter and faster
\u2705 Traction seems about equal
\u274c Do not feel as \"supple\". Slightly harsher when going over rough pavement
\u274c Do not seem to coast as long
\u274c Slightly noisier
2022 F150 Lightning Platinum with original General Grabber HTS60 275/50R22 115H tires. Treadwear warranty 65,000 miles. At 18,300 miles Right rear tire developed rumbling vibration transitioning to a thump thump on highway. Pulled over to find a foot long bump where the tread was separating from the belt.
