Need new shoes for my '04 4x2 standard cab 2.4L, 5-speed.
Had a pair of Firestones in standard size 205/75/15 that were so-so overall, crappy in wet/snow.
Looking at going to General Altimax RT45 in 215/70/15.
I'm mainly a city driver and some highway, haul light loads from time to time, and just looking for good solid all around performance: sporty handling on dry, confidence in wet/snow.
Anyone out there in Taco land use the Altimax RT45? and have any impressions they can share? and/or recommend another tire for my ride?
Thx!
