I usually buy General Altimax RT43s for my dailies but went with some Vredestein Quatrac 5s on my Camry last year because they were only 20$ more per tire and seemed interesting, and because where I live gets actual snow sometimes. I've got about 15k on them and they're great tires, super quiet and comfortable with tons of grip in wet and dry, even better than the RT43s which are drat good for the price. In the snow/ice they blow the RT43s out of the water. Also tossing in another vote for Altimax Arctics, great winter tires. Terrible Robot fucked around with this message at 08:46 on Jun 26, 2019 |

Most shops should be able to source those. throwing out a recommendation for General RT43s. I personally cannot stand that school of thought of "shittier tires go on the front!" but there's probably studies proving that I'm wrong so whatever. gently caress understeer in all its forms.

Preoptopus posted:Michelin figured out that if your an idiot and hit your brakes at speed in wet conditions with better tires on the front and bald tires in the rear your gonna have a spin. Ah, so if you are a lowest-common-denominator motherfucker and drive like a complete moron while also not taking care of your car, than the recommendation holds up. For everyone else that is not dumber than a poo poo-covered brick, put your good tires on the front wheels. Terrible Robot fucked around with this message at 17:05 on Jul 4, 2019 |
