I like them so much, I will purchase 4 more for my Corolla when the time comes. I would get them for my Celica too, but they don't come in 195/60R15
If these are available in your size and is less expensive than the Generals, I would definitely give them a try for your vehicle. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Glad to hear it, it is good that there is another all-weather type tire option.. even if these are more biased towards dry/wet performance than the Nokian WR-G3 which leans more towards winter performance.

I see this posted alot? Which tire(s) is that?
I thought maybe you were talking about bridgstone blizzak ws-80 but those have 60% Multicell compound over a normal winter rubber compound.
