Latest General Altimax 365AW Reviews

Given 93% while driving a Audi A4 1.9 TDI (205/55 R16) on mostly country roads for 14,000 average miles
I have General 365 tires for over one year and all I can say, they are great tires.
Wet grip is fantastic on wet UK roads, great feedback even if suddenly aquaplaning if you suddenly hit deep puddle. Let's face it if you are going to fast on deep sudden puddles there is no tire which wouldn't struggle with disposing water efficiently. Unfortunately in UK we have lots of rain and deep puddles, especially on countryside.
Most importantly these tires allowing you controlling vehicle even on very wet surfaces.
In winter condition (no snow but temp below 7C) grip is great. You can easy perform quick test of emergency breaking and you'll be very surprised like myself how much actually grip they give you. Very happy.
In 2018 winter-snow condition, I have to say they took me out from even deep snow, where lots cars struggle on summer tires.
Over all highly recommending.
It's wort to add that after 14k miles still 5mm remaining on FWD(front axle) car. I hope they will rich 20k miles which is great for mid size FWD car driven 90% on country roads(accelerating braking).

Given 57% while driving a Ford Focus MK1 (195/65 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 4,000 average miles
These tires takes quite a bit of wearing in before they start to perform better. I fitted these in July - in the beginning, they squirmed in the dry and were poor under dry braking. Steering was very vague. On damp, greasy roads, they were terrible! However, they were not too bad on drenched roads - performing well.

After some 2,000 miles, traction improved in wet and dry but steering was still vague.

It snowed recently, these tires performed superbly! There was a lot of confidence in snow and slush. They allowed the car to drive up a frozen compacted snowy hilly road. Other cars on summer tires were either stranded or forced to retreat back down the hill. Nothing seemed a problem really. I would definitely say these tires have a biased toward cold weather.

They have been on the car for over 4,000 miles now. Still plenty life left but then again, my car is certainly not the most demanding in terms of tires. I wouldn't say I wouldn't ever buy again but very low on the list as there are certainly much better all season tires on the market. They are quite comfortable ride wise but noisy on wet roads, mainly due to the amount of spray they whip up.
