Tirerack Installation at Corporate HQ

Why not get the Firestone Precision Touring or General Altimax RT43? Tirerack tested them against the Hankook Optimo H727, and both of those tires blew the Hankooks out of the water in traction. The Hankooks slightly beat the Generals in comfort and noise, and only matched the Firestones in those.

And if snow and ice traction is important to you, you should consider a set of winter tires. All-seasons are a poor excuse for winter tires.

If I could afford to have a separate set, I would in a heartbeat. I cannot, so I have to settle for the next best thing.

I might consider the firestone, but the generals have no reviews at all. The firestones only have 500k miles worth of reviews too.

Check this out:

You'll note my tire in the first link, the Bridgestone Potenza RE92, has 55 million miles worth of reviews and is 2nd to last place on the rankings.

The second link, the firestone and hankooks are neck and neck for 2nd/3rd: 98% vs 95%. Only bested by the michelin defenders.

Any way I go, I'm certainly doing better than the bridgestones.
