My Jetta had Altimax HP when i bought it. They rode very quiet and smooth, and helped return good fuel economy with a light foot. Not a sports tire but perfectly acceptable for normal driving.
The general altimax is the tire I fit on all my sedans. I used to run the Goodyear assurance triple tread, but I feel these are sportier, and have better wet traction. The sidewall is a little soft, so I run a little higher pressure. Between an Acura CL, Audi A4 and JSW the altimax have never let me down.
I'm running General Exclaim UHPs on my E30, I think in the same side you're looking for. Some say the sidewall is too soft, but I think it's fine for me. Road noise is a little high though. Grip is very good in both the wet and dry.
I'm also getting new summer rubber, Nitto Neogens in 205/45 R16.
NITTO NEOGEN .I just got a set .They did great in the snow are Z rated and 280 tread rating.
great tires! wonderful in corners, i love them!
If you are talking about the neogens, they stretch amazing. I also have 215/35/19's on an 8.5. I was able to lower more after switching to these.
Looking to replace the nitto neo-gen tires. We have about 20k miles on them. They have been getting louder and louder for the past 8k miles. Overall they have been a good tire.
Yes, I have that size, there is some minor running when the steering is locked all the way..right or left - can't remember. But I've had them on the van for over a year now and they're fine. They're General Altimax RT. I'd buy them again.
Have nitto neogen on now and do not like them. Pirelli , bridgestone Potenzas, nitto invos and michelin pilot ss on my previous cars. I will stick with michelin on the next purchase.
