Looked at those- seem decent performers but about as noisy as the generals.

I held my nose and got the kyb gas adjust for the old toyota, I would have bought a set of sachs if I could have found a complete set. Bilstein are a bit $$.

Sorry- not here and the prices are no hell either for what they have.

Some noise is ok, ice and snow is silent. Excessive noise is a problem.

Silverado, studded General AT3. non studded for summer.

Well......we don't buy them for clear pavement do we. I drive in the foothills of the Rockies with poor snow removal, my preferred vehicle to drive is a 4x4 the Honda has it's role as well.

Inappropriate or non-conforming thread title:D

No stranger to studs- there are certain winter tires that make a 'slapping' noise. There is only one Nokian retailer here- no competition.

Looking at winter tires, prefer factory studded vs locally installed: 2015 Accord, winter rims differ from factory summer rims, 215 60 r16 Sumitomo Ice Edge General Altimax Arctic 12, made in Germany (Continental), put these on a Rav at work performed ok but are beyond noisy on bare pavement...

I have a '15 Sport, rev hang and other issues solved by Ktune.

I would trust a used oem rather than alot of rebuilds.

KYB initially refused a rebate on a set of shocks boight one day early before the start of the rebate- you need them when you need them- took three tries but they relented.

I'm sure GMs contract rebuilder is the lowest bid....

In any industry I'm a huge proponent of getting it right the first go- otherwise it's just a waste of everones time.

Funny how that works- decades to build something, a few years to tear it down.
