I've also used General Altimax Arctic with studs, they were really good all-round winter tires but they were annoyingly loud on the highway and they were more comfortable on snow and ice than dry pavement.
As an alternative to all-out winter tire, the new Vredestein Quatrac Pro "all-weather" tire has received great reviews from both Consumer Reports and Tire Rack
Vredestein now definitely has the segment performance leader in the Quatrac Pro for "all-weather" tires available in large wheel sizes and low profile sizes (my wife's new Impreza will be getting the Michelin CrossClimate+, but not available for our Arteon).
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've had General (altimax, loved those)
Just got a set installed on my 2016 Prius c at 40k miles. Good so far compared to the stock tires, but haven't tried them in winter conditions yet. They seem a bit quieter than the stock tires and they seem to handle better than the stock tires. Rolling resistance also seems surprisingly low, given they aren't "eco" tires like the stock tires were.
Had a set of the Quatrac 4's on the wife's Focus while in Germany. These did well in wet, snow, and ice. Were quiet on the Autobahn and handled very well, totally stable at speed.
Put these on my wife’s car (2011 Sonata 2.0T) and they’re great. Quiet, handle well, do good in all weather. Plus they’re relatively cheap in comparison.
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.
