I replaced them with General Altimax, dealer reccomended them. I have about 10k on them and like them. Took them on some mild-moderate off-roading out in the Mojave the other day and they did amazingly well for road tires.
I have about 5000 miles on General AS-05's, 235/45/18 mounted on Prismas. Love these tires.
I test drove all 3 tire size when shopping the Arteon, don't be fooled, size does matter. As expected, 18 inch has the best ride and the 20 the worst. It was quite noticeable even on the short drive.
I've had General (altimax, loved those)
Last week I replaced OE Conti Pro Contact which still had decent thread left but were uncomfortably noisy with General Altimax RT43 and boy what a difference in ride quality, handling and incredibly quiet.
I’ve found the General G-Max AS-03 to be an awesome tire, on my 2nd set since the OEM Dunlop’s but the new AS-05 will be the replacement.
The General Gmax AS-05's perform extremely well. The Michelin's are still top dog don't get me wrong, they have better braking, lateral grip, as well as wet grip, but if you want 95% of the the AS 3+'s and save (usually) a couple hundred dollars on a new set of tires the AS-05's are my pick.
I just ordered a set of General Tire G-MAX AS-05 for my Bolt. With 28,000 miles of wear on the factory tires, I can feel it starting to hydroplane in heavy rain. I'm swapping before something worse than "starting to hydroplane" happens. And I'm looking forward to it being a *lot more fun* to drive.
I'm running the older Altimax Arctic on my 06 Legacy wagon and the new Arctic 12 on my 17 CX-5 awd. Agree 100%. They are excellent all-around winter tires, but far from a performance winter tire.
I ha dto change my tires e-brake, e-brake lines, brakes rotors, rear subframe bushings and I have 8 codes on my car sayin I now have electicall problems.
