Currently I'm running the General AltiMaz Arcics on the FXT, and I actually like them a lot. Very cheap, but quiet and nice riding, plus very good ice and snow grip.
Agreed. I had the same experience, but I had WS60's before the 70's came out. They were great in the deep stuff and ice, but wore pretty quickly in the dry. I too am now on the Altimax Arctic's and like them very much. Last year was the first year on them, and they seem just as good in the snow and ice, and a touch better on the dry.
