I would rock the General's...I am running the General Exclaim UHP's on the wife's xB2 and they are AWESOME...Just ran them through a huge rainstorm with flooded roads and standing water and they performed flawlessly...So I would imagine that the Altimax All Seasons would perform just as well, probably better since they are an all season tire...Plus if you check out www.tirerack.com they finished 2 out of 29 tested and if you click on the survey tab they give you a score on how the tire performed in each category...

I have those Goodyears on my car. For the dry and the rain I can't really give them a plus or a minus, but in the snow they're awesome. Tons of grip in snow.

For the money, the General's will probably be the winner. Had them for a little while on the g/f's Neon. Actually a decent tire if you're on a budget.

I'm usually between tirerack.com and discounttiredirect.com

Tirerack is usually a tiny bit cheaper per tire, but you pay for shipping. DTD may have slightly higher prices, but its free shpping.

Try here: tires-easy.com or tirerack.com ...I don't think you will find them cheaper anywhere else...

yeah the neogens are good tires. They should last longer than the Proxes4's. The older proxes4's weren't that good, I think Toyo changed the compound of the tread, the newer ones are lasting a lot longer. so good for you to get a great deal. let us know what you think of them when you get them installed.
