Yokohama Advan Sport A/S 245-45-19. Stock is 225-45-19. They fit well and the performance difference over stock is very noticeable (handles much better).
Finally settled on tire size, 275/55R20 General Grabber ATXs. I absolutely love these tires.
I bought the avid ascend gt tires about 2 weeks ago. Quiet and smooth ride so far. Comparable to my previous Michelin tires.
My initial impression of the Generals is that they are quite comfortable. Compared to the PSS, I think they definitely provide a better ride in normal driving situations. I’ve seen this is chalked up to a softer sidewall, and I can confirm that. Noise levels are good too.
In spirited driving, I think the Generals are perfect for the street. The main detractor I noticed is that they are a bit more vague than the PSS in the initial turn-in before providing that on-rails feeling of holding grip through corners. My unofficial test for grip is seeing if I can double the recommended speed that you can see on a sweeping on ramp or exit. The Generals delivered without much drama. These tires are perfectly at home on a windy back road as well.
They faired well, especially uphill. Trusted mechanic buddy said Blizzaks were the way to go, but these Yokohamas made me feel in control and handle well on the clear days
After one week of ownership I purchased a new set of General Altimax rt43's (replaced the OEM Conti's) that are rated V, max 149 mph. They have worn like iron, have great grip and are very quiet, even after 20k miles.
I've been happy with General Altimax RT43 tires on my previous cars, good balance of quality and price for an all around tire.
Recently got some Yokohama Avid Ascends after reading some recs on this sub. I like 'em.
I've been running general g max as-05s and been pleasantly surprised with their performance. Nothing close to the 200 treadwear summers I've run, but decent for an all season.
A very poor tire, I think if you treat them as summer tires and put on winters or good all season + 3PMSF tires like Michelin Crossclimate 2s, you'll be much happier in the snow.
