General AltiMAX 365 AW Callouts

The AlitMAX 365 AW is General's Grand Touring All-Season tire designed for the drivers of family sedans, coupes, crossovers and SUVs who want the versatile performance provided by an all-weather tire in a variety of weather conditions, including light snow traction that meets the industry's severe snow service requirements and is branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

The AltiMAX 365 AW features a high-silica, all-season tread compound molded into a symmetric pattern designed to blend dry and wet traction with enhanced wintry weather grip. The center rib's lower sipe density allows for increased steering feel and promotes even wear, with the added benefit of helping maintain noise comfort throughout the tire's life. The AltiMAX 365 AW utilizes a Sinusoidal Siping System for increased inclement weather traction while helping maintain dry road handling. Large lateral channels feed wide, circumferential grooves for efficient hydroplaning resistance, helping enhance wet weather stability. Additional Traction Teeth are also molded into the Waved Groove design which, in conjunction, helps increase biting edges in snow and slush for improved grip in difficult winter conditions.

Internal construction of the AltiMAX 365 AW consists of a single ply casing for a smooth, comfortable ride. Twin steel belts are incorporated to maximize strength and durability along with a polyamide reinforcement for stability at higher speeds.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.

Had these tires for a while and for the price and quality i am very pleased. Handling, minimal road noise and wet traction control is great!!! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a good balance/budget friendly tire. Have rotated and balance every oil change (6k) still have plenty of tread and love them!

...Drove through a rain storm didn't even loose traction once... Theses generals went straight through it no problem at all...

Just got theses the other days. Drove through a rain storm didn't even loose traction once. My old uniroyles that cam on the car when I bought it would pull to one side when u hit a puddle. Theses generals went straight through it no problem at all. Love theses tires so far will update when we get snow here in Nebraska.

...Wet traction is excellent...

Really great tire. Wet traction is excellent. Originally thought the tires were a little stiff when going over bumps, but now I think they are doing wonderful on the city streets and highways. I am very impressed with this tire. I would highly recommend them for drivers that want a great wet traction and safe tire.

...The tires, at the still like new stage, are outstanding in every respect concerning snow traction. I wanted something that would have a longer lifespan for winter use than a dedicated winter tire but live up to the snow traction ability.

Outstanding handling and quietness for an all season, mountain snowflake rated tire. I am very picky about the tires I put on my M235i, which I call my little go-kart, due to its superior handling characteristics.

...I've also found that they are sticky like a racecar tire in both wet and dry conditions and put the power to the pavement way better than any other tire I've used. I'm occasionally a 'spirited' driver and like to take off fast for fun and these tires make it even more fun...

I'm on my second set of these! I purchased these because I live in an area that gets snow about 3-4 months out of the year, but can't afford to keep a second set of wheels. These are perfect for that application and they are amazing in both light and deep snow; I can crawl out of anything and it just feels like I'm driving on slightly wet pavement when I'm on snow. I've also found that they are sticky like a racecar tire in both wet and dry conditions and put the power to the pavement way better than any other tire I've used. I'm occasionally a "spirited" driver and like to take off fast for fun and these tires make it even more fun. For a 3-peak snow-rated tire, they are also very quiet and have a very comfortable ride, like any other touring tire. The only downfalls are that gas mileage on the highway has definitely gone down a bit, and the treadlife isn't great, but it isn't terrible either. I think I got about 49,000 miles out of the last set and bought them again because I like them so much.

...With the depth of the tread I expected a bit of noise at high speeds but they are very quiet. They also create a very comfortable ride.

I had these tires installed the day we had a small snow storm. I was able to get into my driveway no problem. I didn't spin at all. With the depth of the tread I expected a bit of noise at high speeds but they are very quiet. They also create a very comfortable ride.

...Love their 'AA' Temperature Rating, and Superior Treadwear Ratings ( Last a long time)... Then they will last a good long time.

Great Tires!
This is my [4th] set of General tires on three different vehicles ... Second set on my Minivan.
Sticks like glue when the vehicle is properly aligned, in the summer heat.
I feel very confident on rainy surfaces (Not Deep Waters ... Cars, not a Boat).
Cuts through the Atlanta snow with ease (Not much snow here!)
Love their "AA" Temperature Rating, and Superior Treadwear Ratings (Last a long time).
Why buy somebody else's used tires (Their garbage)?
For a few dollars more, you get a [2] year road hazard warranty (free) and the confidence of knowing that you have a good, safe tire/s.
Don't forget to rotate your tires, and go somewhere that gives a free alignment check.
Then they will last a good long time.

This is my third set of these on two cars, about 90,000 miles total. I'm very pleased with them- decent snow traction without a lot of noise on dry pavement, stable in corners and good tread life.
