Re: Time For New Snow/Winter Tires [Fleck]

We've been big fans of the General Altimax Arctic tires for our cars. We've been through a couple of snow/winter tire cycles. They seem to be the Gold-Standard for the mid-priced value oriented snow/winter tire. These tires have got both our cars through some crazy winter storms and conditions.

Where we buy our tires - they have recommended the Kumho I'Zen KW31 as a suggested alternative. They are slightly less than the General's. Because they are a new tire, released last year, online consumer reviews are limited.

Long - shot but looking for some feedback if anyone has any.


Since everybody seems to be recommending their favorite winter tire rather than answering your question, I'll help you out with this.

Winter Tires 2016: Best Car Winter Tires in Canada - Review - RateLab.ca

Granted it is just one and it is a website related to the insurance industry but the tire you mention is up there on the list with other favorites mentioned in the thread.


Edit: found this from a owner on another forum:

"Well, we've gotten plenty of snow around here the last few days, so I've had a chance to see how these do.
In my non-professional opinion, they're just as good as the General Altimax Arctics I've used in the past, and maybe a little bit better. No problem plowing through 3-4 inches of powder. They go good, stop good, and turn good!"

A false humanity is used to impose its opposite, by people whose cruelty is equalled only by their arrogance
