Apologies for resurrecting a somewhat old thread but..
I am currently running a set of Altimax HP's on my 05 impreza wagon.
Great traction in rain, not bad in light snow, & overall I have been happy with them. The one catch, is that being a directional tire, it can only be rotated front back. If that doesn't suit your fancy, the Altimax RT's are a similar design with one side having the sipes inverted.
If I had to get another set (not for many more miles here ) I would get the HP's again.
