I have general altimax 365 AWs and Michelin ice x snows for winter.
Last year I only had the Michelin tires on for 4 weeks and the rest of the winter I ran the generals.
They performed 95% of the dedicated snow tires.
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 used to drive Gislaved studded tires in my Tuscon for 2yrs, great 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.
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.
They are great when they are new but as you put miles on them and the tread wears I thought they sucked. I replaced my generals with about half tread life because in the rain they liked to hydroplan.
