General Altimax Arctic 12 Studdable
The Bottom Line
The Altimax Arctic 12 Studdable is a solid choice for budget-minded drivers prioritizing snow traction and treadlife, thanks to its 60,000-mile warranty. However, its wet grip is lacking, which could be a dealbreaker in climates with frequent winter rain or slush.
Important Note
Wet grip performance is subpar, which could be risky in slushy or rainy winter conditions.
Pros
- Snow traction score of 8 aligns well with winter category expectations, offering reliable performance in snowy conditions.
- High treadlife with a 60,000-mile warranty, which is impressive for a winter tire and suggests longevity over multiple seasons.
- Dry grip score of 7.5 is solid for a winter tire, providing decent handling on clear roads.
Cons
- Wet grip score of 5.5 is below average for winter tires, which could be a concern in slushy or rainy conditions.
- Noise level is moderate at best, which might be noticeable on long drives compared to quieter options like the Continental VikingContact 7.
- Lacks ice traction data, making it hard to gauge performance on icy surfaces without studs.
