Tires Sailun or GENERAL TIRE
I've been happy with General Grabber HTS60 for the last 2 years
General Grabber HTS60
Good reviews on tire rack and consumer reports and more affordable than Continental Terrain Contact H/T or the Michelin Defender LTX M/S although slightly less mileage warranty.
General Grabber AT2's but they don't make my size anymore so this will unfortunately be the last set for me. Great tires though.
Even a slightly preowned premium tire is better than cheap Chinese crap. Can attest to this personally. I went from new Sailun summer tires in factory size (225/60R16) on my 280hp car to used Michelin Premacy 3s. Guess which had better grip? Guess which was fine to -1C road surface temperature on a wet road?
GMAXs are great budget tires but for only $150 more, the A/S4 are definitely worth it.
I’m a fan of general grabbers AT. Decent price and they’ve always lasted me. Plus the added bonus of 10ply if you haul trailers often.
I currently have General Altimax RT43's, and they've been pretty solid.
General Grabber AT/x has been fantastic for me as a general purpose, daily driver in rain and snow, and done a solid job in mud and sand. I’ve had them for about 15k miles at this point and will definitely be buying them again.
quite good in wet braking but lack a bit in comfort.
I've had bad experiences with 2 out of 5 General Tire Exclaim UHP's I've bought. First tire had a terrible vibration from day 1. When the tire shop mounted my tires, they said one balanced fine, but may have a "hop" at highway speed. Well, the "hop" was very noticeable. When the wheel was on the back, the car shook so bad on the highway I literally could not drink coffee without spilling on myself. When the wheel was mounted on the front, the steering wheel would shake so bad my hands would go numb. I had this tire replaced under warranty and the car drove great. A couple weeks ago, after coming into town from a highway commute, I could hear a loud rhythmic humming at around 50 km/h. Tire shop again tried re-balancing this wheel with no improvement. Tire has hardly any wear and wheel itself looks to be in great condition. I didn't hit any rocks of potholes before this started. This is getting really annoying. I just want a reliable tire.
