General Altimax r43 vs. Yokohama avid ascend

Best quotes I got were $450 for the generals and $615 for the Yokohama’s out the door. I live in Illinois so a little bit of everything as far as weather.. What would you guys recommend? Will there be a noticeable difference?

Wal-Mart for General RT43 175/65-15 H-rated at $77.99 ( 4 @ $311.96 ) or the YOKOHAMA Avid Ascend 175/65-15 T-rated at $75 ( 4 @ $300 ) . We have the 175/65-15 RT43 H-rated for both FITs . Better ride and handling . No hit in gas mileage . Keep them at 34 > 36 P.S.I.. Here are TIRERACK tire test results for the H-rated RT43 . https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests...Speed+Rated%29

I have the RT43 in 205/50/16 and I like them. No experience with the Yokohoma.

Here's the new Avid Ascend GT . It's H-rated 175/65-15 . Looks more agressive than the Ascend . https://www.yokohamatire.com/tires/avid-ascend-gt .

Avid Ascend GT is a low rolling resistance H-rated ( 740-A.A. ) tire . $95.40 at TIRERACK . I think the price includes shipping .

The Avid Ascend GT ( H-rated ) are $81.99 at Wal-Mart . I think they're not available until late July / early August .

They're both boring, uninspiring, loud tires.

Buy one. Buy the other. They're fine. They're boring. Be boring I guess.
