I've had the Goodyears and I've got Falken WildPeak Trails now, which I like a lot better, but then I drive offroad and in the snow. The WildPeaks do work well on pavement and are quieter on the highway than the Goodyears were. YMMV

 

I don’t have the General Altimax 365 on my Subaru, but I just got them on my Sienna minivan and I have to say, so far in the week and a half of having them, I really like them. They feel good on both dry and wet pavement. Can’t speak for how they are in the snow yet of course.

The current $100 rebate was a nice bonus, although I would have gotten them either way. I didn’t know about the rebate until I was there getting them installed and the guy told me.

 

I had never owned a General tire before putting a set of Altimax Arctic 12 winter tires on my kid's car a few years back. They did well in competitive tire testing, and the price is certainly attractive. They did not disappoint in winter performance (and we've had Dunlop, Continental & Bridgestone winter tires before), but they did get a bit hard and noisy around 5/32" remaining, and I retired them early.

I switched her car over to another set of tires on Subi wheels I had in the garage, and will likely go with a set of Michelin CC3 (the successor to the CC2) for 3 season plus use. We've had CC2's on our Sienna, and I put them on our other daughter's RAV4 and they have handled two NY winters just fine. I'm still on the fence regarding true winter tires. She's now teaching up near Lake George, so maybe another set of Blazzaks would serve her better than any top quality all-weather tire.

(typo fix)

 

@Fibber2 You sure they're not CC2s? The CC3 still isn't available outside of Europe. I asked about it when I recently bought CC2s for my new Legacy and there's been nothing mentioned by Michelin North America.

 

I'm waiting too. I'm hoping that the CC3 reaches wide availability before she sees snow.

 

With the amount of miles I do for work (30K/year) the CC3s should certainly be available when I hit 60K (warranty limit) two years from now.

One more good thing about CC2s is that while they're warranted for 60K, they often go 70-75K before they start losing some grip.

 

CC2 tread starts out deep. Like snow tire deep. IIRC, like 11/32"?

 

The one I'm really interested in for when it's time to replace Annie's CC2s is the CC3 Sport. The sidewall graphics alone are worth it.....
