Tires Maxxis or GENERAL TIRE
General altimax rt45 is an excellent all-season. Better than defender and costs a lot less
I have Cross Climates on my CX 5 and
Falken Wildpeaks on Crosstrek,General Altimax on my Ford Escape and Goodyear Workhorse on my truck.
General or Kumho are what I've used on my w123s. Both worked fine and were relatively cheap.
I've driven the General Altimax Arctic and they were indestructible. They handled snow/ice very well in my FWD Honda. Since they're winter tires, I only drove them 1/2 the year for 6 years. At that age, they recommend replacing tires, but they were still performing great and had tons of tread life left, so I just left them on the car for the whole next two years. They handled both winters great and were totally fine in the summer.
i have a set on my 2011 camry. super quiet, great gas mileage, the tires have since been discontinued and replaced with the RT45, which i have on my civic. both are good, solid tires.
well, if your in japan my shop just recieved a 24x2.4 dhf. It’s s very high quality tire!
I also like General snow tires. I’ve personally used general 365aw on cars and minivans with no complaints.
I also put the General’s on my Civic because I liked them on her Camry.
They are definitely not twice as good. I was riding a Rekon/Ardent race combo and replaced them with Fast Track/ Renegade while those were on sale and I don’t feel like I’ve had any drop in performance.
Expect to go slower. DH is for downhill. My bike came with those and my God it was a slog on flat, rolling and uphill. And forget about accelerating out of turns.
