Ive been running the generals for ever. Just got a set of the arctic 12s mounted for this winter. Overall design doesnt seem to have changed much since around 2012 and they have always been absolute champs in deep snow for me.
General GMAX AS-05 ultra high performance, all season tires. I'm on my 3rd set, they have a 50k mile warranty and grip like crazy in the rain. Comparable to BFG comp 2's but they look better and are less expensive. I particularly dislike the way the comp 2 sidewall looks.
I’ve have the grabber ATX and I really like those on my old 79 f150 also had them on a 15 f250.
I had the AT2s on my last truck for years and I love those tires. They're snowflake rated so obviously they did good in the snow. I've had them in deep mud, and while no mud tire, they did petty darn good. Plus they lasted forever, like 60ish k miles.
General makes good tires.
I would recommend the General g max AS 05 or newer AS 07. They're pretty affordable and are great all seasons. On Tirerack you can see the ratings and can get them pretty cheap there as well. I've had those on my old ES 350 and recently on my 2022 Camry SE after the oem tires became unbearably loud and wore out at 40k miles.
I used General Tire Altimax 12 studded tires on my 2017 VW Golf Sportwagen for the 4 winters that I lived in central Maine and absolutely loved them. Great winter tire especially for the price.
I like the Altimax on my Passat.
My thoughts are the tires work fine. I do get a little rubbing at extremes, but no significant loss of traction on icy, snowy stuff.
I've been disappointed overall in the tire.
