I currently have Altimax RT-45 tires on my Golf Sportwagen (TDI, 6 speed manual). I used to use all-weather tires like Toyota Celsius, which are great for moderate snow. But winters in New England have gotten so less snowy that the Generals are excellent. Good handling, good in the rain, quiet.
Changed mine to all season Vredesteins (Quatrac). Much better now.
I've been running General Tire Altmax Artic Snows year round for maybe 5+ years on the same vehicle (no replacement, same tires, not even rotating).
I use Vredstein Hitrac All-season on my 2023 Camry Hybrid. Barely hit my fuel efficiency, maybe .5%. But waaayyyyy better performance is rain and snow compared to my OEM firestones.
I use them on my Camry hybrid. Great stuff, get them
Vredestein Quatrac checks all the right boxes. Replaced my now discontinued Michelin Premiers with them and I like the Vredesteins better. Consumer Reports and Tire Rack also rate Vredesteins very highly.
I have those exact tires, 195/60-15, on my GK. I very much like them.... They could do with a little better grip in dry, very spirited cornering. They eat rain like a champ.
I recently got vredestein quatrac tires on my 2012 fit and have been loving them. They are all weather tires so they are actually rated to handle snow compared to traditional all seasons. In Jersey so have only tested in light snow/ice and they were great.
Currently running the General 365aw, and they've been pretty good. I don't think they were as good as the nokians in the snow. (Mind you, we don't get a lot of snow here, it's mostly very wet snow when we do).
I bought 2025 Mini Cooper S a month ago and I already have flat tire incident third time. I am a new driver so did hit a pothole at 20ish mph but nothing at a high speed.
