I ran a General Altimax (AS??) on one of my older cars and at the time was plenty happy with it.
I am a big fan of General tires in general in the moderate budget category... they are a great cost to benefit tire and part of Continental tires.
The Grabber HTS 60 is a great tire... as long as you don't have to deal with winter conditions.
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.
I've used the weathergrip on a subaru crosstrek before and was pretty happy with them. They lasted a good while and always got me where I had to go. Not nearly as much grip as a dedicated snow tire, but they were run year round and lasted 50k miles, so it's a decent compromise.
I had the general altimax on my old Lincoln LS. They were great and would go again if I need 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.
I run Firestone Indy 500. But I only drive it in the summer. Was the best Bang for my dollar up here.
Best AT's out there for snow that I've found is Firestone Destination XTs (exculding their AT2's due to your vehicle).
I just got the G max RS on my Mk 7 from a dealer. Don’t know too much about track performance but they’re grippy if a little loud while on the highway.
With that said the General Grabbers were my least favorite set of tires in terms of their noise and grip while cornering.
