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.
El neumático AltiMAX 365AW de General Tire pertenece a la categoría: Gran Turismo Para Toda Estación y fue diseñado para conductores de sedanes familiares, cupé, utiliautos (crossovers) y vehículos utilitarios deportivos (SUV, por sus siglas en inglés), que desean un rendimiento versátil de un neumático para todo clima, en las variadas condiciones encontradas durante las cuatro estaciones del año, incluyendo superficies con nieve ligera. El AltiMAX 365AW cumple con los requisitos de la industria en cuanto a nieve severa y posee el símbolo tres picos montaña copo de nieve (3PMSF).
El AltiMAX 365 AW posee un compuesto de caucho para toda estación con alto contenido de sílice y es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con patrón simétrico, para obtener tracción tanto en superficies secas y mojadas, como en condiciones invernales. El segmento central posee una densidad baja de pequeñas ranuras que permiten un mayor sentimiento al girar el volante y un desgaste parejo, con el beneficio añadido de ayudar a mantener niveles bajos de ruido a través del ciclo de vida del neumático. El AltiMAX 365 AW utiliza un sistema sinusoide de pequeñas ranuras "Sinusoidal Siping System" para aumentar la tracción en climas inclementes, al mismo tiempo de ayudar a mantener la maniobrabilidad sobre superficies secas. Ranuras laterales y canales circunferenciales anchos, proporcionan una resistencia eficiente al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning), ayudando a aumentar la estabilidad sobre superficies mojadas. Dientes adicionales de tracción "Traction Teeth" son moldeados en el diseño de surcos ondulados "Waved Groove", y en conjunto, aumentan los bordes adherentes para mejorar la tracción sobre aguanieve y nieve en condiciones invernales difíciles.
La construcción interna del AltiMAX 365 AW consiste en una estructura de una capa, para proporcionar un andar parejo y confortable. Correas gemelas de acero son incorporadas para maximizar la fortaleza y durabilidad, y junto a un refuerzo de poliamida, se mejora la estabilidad a velocidades elevadas.
Nota: Mientras los neumáticos no identificados para su uso en invierno, pero con el símbolo tres picos montaña copo de nieve, 3PMSF (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake, 3PMSF) podrían proporcionar mayor tracción longitudinal en nieve, que la ofrecida por neumáticos para toda estación (M+S) sin el símbolo 3PMSF. Sin embargo, ninguno iguala la capacidad de un neumático verdaderamente para invierno, en climas con condiciones adversas.

...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.

...These Generals give a lot of confidence in the rain too...
Great tires! I didn’t expect these to handle so well on dry pavement. They give the vehicle a sporty feel and steering feels much more direct. These Generals give a lot of confidence in the rain too. Haven’t had them in the snow or ice yet, but they should do well with the amount of siping. I also have been getting about 0.5 mpg better than the factory tire (Michelin Energy Savor). Only complaint is the constant hum on the freeway, especially over 70mph. It’s not loud, but noisier than the previous tire. Won’t keep me from purchasing again!

...The ride quality has been fantastic, and this is some of the best traction I have had in non-winter months...
I am very satisfied with this set of tires. The ride quality has been fantastic, and this is some of the best traction I have had in non-winter months. This set is 10mm wider than what I normally use, and it is the first non-winter set I have purchased that were not OE. With only around 1,000 miles on the tires, I don't know how they will be for the long haul, but I have nothing but good things to say at this point.

Great tires, didn't notice a big change in battery range, they're quiet, and have great traction...
Great tires, didn't notice a big change in battery range, they're quiet, and have great traction. Got me through a Wisconsin winter, and I like them equally in all seasons. Maintain the comfortable ride in a Volt, seem durable. The only comment I'd make on traction is it's not maybe the best vehicle to base it on-- the Volt weighs 2 tons on a small car, so I can't say how they'd do on a ICE Corolla at half that weight.

...dry driving are excellent, road noise is minimal...
New tires < 500 miles on them and only the autumn season so far. Both wet and dry driving are excellent, road noise is minimal. City driving is a charm and one highway trip so far where it was a nice, quiet, comfortable ride. I had TireRack install the tires in my driveway and being a home worker, this was an excellent option. I have had them install 3 sets of tires here, pricing is excellent, and the quality of the install is terrific - nicely balanced wheels, etc.

...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.

...For a 3-peak snow-rated tire, they are also very quiet and have a very comfortable ride, like any other touring tire...
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.

...These AW365 are snow tire rated but are returning the same mileage as the OEM Kumhos on my Kia Seltos SX AWD...
Generals or Continentals are my first consideration. Every vehicle I've used them on is improved over OEM for comfort and traction. These AW365 are snow tire rated but are returning the same mileage as the OEM Kumhos on my Kia Seltos SX AWD. They are quieter and more smoothly responsive on any turns or local "chicanes".

...Most of us live in the Adirondacks of upstate NY and drive over all types of roads and weather. The other vehicle is in South Carolina where the roads (mostly) and weather is not so extreme, but the highway miles add up quickly...
This rating is not so much about this set of General Altimax 365AW's because of only 2,000 miles on them on my son and his family's car. But, it is a cumulative rating as this is the 5th set purchased and on various vehicles in our expanded family. Most of us live in the Adirondacks of upstate NY and drive over all types of roads and weather. The other vehicle is in South Carolina where the roads (mostly) and weather is not so extreme, but the highway miles add up quickly. The best aspect of this tire is it's ability to work well in everything.They perform well, as expected, in good conditions but what sets them apart is their ability to handle snow, ice, rain and extreme temperatures without worry. They are truly the first tires we have found that can truly provide a safe and reliable experience every time you drive on them. We cannot say enough good things about this tire. We are collectively and completely satisfied with them.
