I am really happy with these tires

I purchased these Generals from Tire Rack for $100 a piece with a $50 rebate after running the OE Michelins for the last 8 years. I can report that this tire is every bit as good as the Michelin and has a better treadwear rating to boot. This saved me about $400 on a set of 4, not chump change by any means.

These tires (the Altimax HP) are among the highest-rated on Tire Rack's website. Tread pattern is cool, the only downside is that they are directional so they can't be rotated side-to-side without dismounting the tire from the rim. So for anyone looking to go for a new tire, give these a look.
