I had General Altimax Arctic 12s for 2 years and didn’t switch them out in the summer. Surprisingly great performance on all the dirt roads and still held traction on their second winter season.
Pros: great performance, held traction

I had the general altimax on my old Lincoln LS. They were great and would go again if I need dedicated winters.
Pros: great dedicated winters
I have the generals. All day today, I was like wtf is everyone driving so slow. Plenty of grip, predictable and balanced slip. A literal joy on a -40 day in Edmonton.
Pros: plenty of grip, balanced slip
Ran the 365AW on my Forester & found it to be a competent tire for the freak weather events that happened before/after the winters being on.
Pros: competent tire
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Recently picked up a set of general altimax 365aw for my 2013 XV. They seem to handle rain fantastic and seem to be well lugged/siped for snow. Not a dedicated snow tire, but better than all seasons!
Pros: handle rain fantastic
Vehicle:
Subaru XV
I ran them for the past few years in PA winters. Not a single issue. Love them.
Pros: no issues, love them
I use GMax on my GTI daily. They are a good budget tire.
Pros: good budget tire
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I have run the GMax before I got a dedicated set of wheels and they did really well, well balanced and still held up for daily driving.
Pros: well balanced, held up
I can vouch for the General Tire Altimax. I have them on my 14's. They are not very good for sporty cornering (mushy), but the grip is okay.
Pros: grip is okay
Cons: not good for cornering
In 2010, our shop purchased a brand new Ranger 2.3 and I fitted brand new studded General Altimax Arctic, which were broken in before the first snowstorm. When we had our first snowstorm (heavy, wet snow), I took it out for some errands to see how it would do; it was absolute trash. Driving a straight line was impossible.
Cons: absolute trash, impossible driving
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
