I had General Grabbers AT3 and they were great.
I've only ever tried 1 - General Altimax Artic. I drove on them through the Rockies for 4 ski seasons, no studs. Can't imagine needing anything more. My Subaru felt unstoppable... but also completely stoppable! I could turn and brake just fine. Felt like I was on pavement. Almost no fun because I couldn't even get the car to drift!
I second the suggestion of General Grabbers, I replaced mine after 12 years with life still in them.
I have General Grabber tires on my 2016, and they are great. Low noise, good on the street even on wet roads. They are also very, very good off road.
Altimax Arctic 12s on steelies has been my winter outfit for the last decade. Handles Kansan winters just fine, as well as my hilly driveway. Drove through Loveland Pass during a blizzard, no problems.
I put on a set of General Altimax tires and there was a massive difference in driveability in the snow.
I have around 20,000km (12,000mi) on my Kumho tires 2024 hybrid 20"), they are around 60% life, but I never go down to the wear bars. So call them half gone. I'll expect to get about 26,000ish miles.
I tow semi frequently but am otherwise easy on my tires - no hard launches, no high speed hard cornering. Rotate them about every 10,000km as it works out to swap my winter wheels on.
Am acum Kumho Solus HA32+, puse vara asta. Sunt decente pentru anvelope medii.
I wore out a set of Kumho Ecsta 712's on my Miata in about 7.5K miles. Of course I was sliding the rears using the throttle to steer around curves on Highway 9 in California.
Tires (Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum) were installed 6/25/2024 @ 151,xxx miles (with receipts). Manufactured date is May 2023. Currently, car has 165,xxx miles. As you can see, the two front (now rotated to rear) tires are bald! The other two tires have a normal amount of tread remaining however. I was running about 1° of camber front and rear, and explains why the inside is more worn, but doesn't explain the overall accelerated wear that occurred only on the fronts. I also have an alignment report showing only the front left Toe is out of spec (-0.39° measured vs. +/-0.08 spec).
In my opinion, this would fall under the warranty via excessive/premature tire wear, but of course I imagine any shop would fuss about the lack of rotation. To make matters worse, I purchased and installed these tires at Walmart, which I'm now learning isn't an authorized Kumho installer and Kumho's warranty form says they must be installed by an authorized installer. However, Walmart's own listing for the tires says it's covered by a 50k mile tread life warranty (see last photo).
