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
About to swap out the winter tires that came on the ‘19 tiguan I bought for the wife/hauling kids…. They’re sailun winter blazers….. seem like a great tire and from what I read when confirming they’re in fact winter tires seems they’re one of the best value winter tires so the brands probably not too bad.
My dad has been running that exact tire on his 98 Silverado for 3 years. They’ve held up great and still have 70% of tread left
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.
My thoughts are the tires work fine. I do get a little rubbing at extremes, but no significant loss of traction on icy, snowy stuff.
I really want to avoid General Altimax tires because I have them on my Impala and they flat spot with just minimal sitting !! Man I hate that, Have to drive a few miles before it stops , just a pain in the ass... I want to avoid ANY tire that does this !
