I've had General GMAX AS 05's, Continental ECS AS and currently running Michelin PS4 AS. I live in NY, in a small apartment no garage, ND is my daily so I run one set of tires.
The General tires is a sub brand of Continental, they were cheaper than the ECS but honestly were great, I had these after the Continentals and I'd get the Generals over the ECS if on a budget.
Get some studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires on all four wheels.
General Altimax Arctic 12 are 97% as good as Blizzak for about 75% of the price.
I just got a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta and they are the single best tires I've ever had. They are biased towards water. I've been going through all of the heavy rain puddles thinking I would hydroplane and just nothing happens. I cruise through like I have suction cups as tires.
Nokian makes some dirt nasty snow tires. Out of all I’ve ever used- they’re the best.
Now I have Nokian WRG5's on my Jetta GLI 2025 which is FWD only and they feel amazing. Much lower road noise than CC2's and MPG did not take a hit, with CC2's I lost about 3 MPGs. Nokian feels solid in every weather you can put it through including Ontario winters given black ice doesn't catch you by surprise.
I’ve had Nokian winter tires on AWD and front wheel drive and it was the most confident I’ve ever been! Couldn’t make myself slide!
Echoing Nokian for winter tires. Tier 1 in that regard along with Bridgestone.
wrapped them around a set of general grabber atx tires that are 275/70r18 SL rated with 75% tread (33s) and put them on, and well, idk how i feel about them so far. driving on the road so far they’re not that bad, but you can tell they’re 33s and you can hear them, but they’re not that unbearable, but I would prefer for them to be slightly softer.
Just found out my tires will not pass PA inspection due to chunking and cracking. I only had these tires for 3 years/10k miles.
