I like the Altimax on my Passat.
I am on my second set of General Grabbers, and may go for another set. aggressive tread, quiet on the road, and last forever.
The rugged-looking alloy wheels of the prototype, shod in General Grabber A/T Sport tires (275/60R18), sound like a fitting choice for the production model.
I have been using this specific tire below for almost 20 years. Had my 2006 for 11 years and now my 2017. They have great wet road handling. Excellent tread wear. I get about 70K miles a set. Not sure what your price range is but don't skimp on tires, especially on a truck. You want that wet road grip.
Update 6 months later: I haven't gotten a chance to test them in snow despite getting them in January. It was a very mild winter. But I noticed immediately how much better they handled in the rain. Compared to those these made a real difference and I felt safer. I don't notice any more noise with these.
Basically, both are pretty good tires and at an equal price or a little bit more, I'd take the Generals...
Went with the Generals and have been getting anecdotally very good efficiency.
I have these tires on my 01 Tahoe and they are a beast. Love em, especially in the snow in Michigan's upper peninsula. I take care of a camp about a third of a mile in on unpaved road and these things run me in there with snow bumper high like it ain't no thing. Muddy in the spring, same deal. Comfy on pavement, not a bad thing to say about them.
My thoughts are the tires work fine. I do get a little rubbing at extremes, but no significant loss of traction on icy, snowy stuff.
They are great when they are new but as you put miles on them and the tread wears I thought they sucked. I replaced my generals with about half tread life because in the rain they liked to hydroplan.
