Tires IRONMAN or GENERAL TIRE
One of the best, actually. These are our main seller that we stock at work. They are on my step mom's Sonata, my dad's Camry, and on my Crown Victoria. I haven't had anyone complain about them. The RT43 was excellent and the RT45 seems to have been an improvement in every way upon that, so I would be confident recommending them to anyone who needs a good all season touring tire that performs well in wet weather and lasts a long time.
I had them on 2013 Acura Tl. Handled well and lasted a long time.
A lower-budget alternative? I actually also really, really like the General Altimax Arctics.
I have General G-Max AS05's on my BMW. They are an all-season performance tire. I like them. Less expensive than most.
For a little more money the Altimax RT45 from General (owned by Continental) is actually an exceptional tire, that's what I have on my Crown Victoria, my dad's Camry, and my stepmom's Sonata. It's probably the best thing you can buy for the money
Altimax is a great tire. Have it on the kids car and performs great during the summer and in the winter in snow and ice.
General Grabber ATXs are awesome. I’ve had them in 37x12.5 for 40k miles on my gladiator and they are still going strong, and I’ve wheeled on dry rocks in Moab, snowy rocks in Moab, wet rocks and mud in Arkansas, and dusty rocky central TX.
My favorite so far has been the General Grabber ATX. I will say I've used them in Alaska (lasted 4 full years up there), Arkansas, and Louisiana.
I can vouch for the General Tire Altimax. I have them on my 14's. They are not very good for sporty cornering (mushy), but the grip is okay.
In 2010, our shop purchased a brand new Ranger 2.3 and I fitted brand new studded General Altimax Arctic, which were broken in before the first snowstorm. When we had our first snowstorm (heavy, wet snow), I took it out for some errands to see how it would do; it was absolute trash. Driving a straight line was impossible.
