I bought these tires for my 2011 Chevy Aveo. I've never had good handling in the rain and these aren't much better but they are the best tires I've had so far. I typically drive 20,000-30,000 miles per year and Michelin doesn't make an all-season tire for my car, they only make a snow tire, that's why I bought these tires. They handle great on dry and snowy surfaces but in the rain they are bad. I think it's just the 2011 Chevy Aveo that has bad handling, so I can't fault the General Altimax R43.

When I replaced my original tires I went  with fancy Yokohoma tires. Much more expensive than these tires and they wore out fast. I put these RT43's on and they hold the road, work great in the rain and have these wear strips that warn you about uneven wear. I put them on my Sienna too. They performed great in the snow too.

It has been many years since I purchased General tires. These had good reviews and the price was right. At first, they felt a little ""squirrely"" but have settled in after about 3K miles and now run smooth. Moderately noisy, but our Prius is a light car with lots of road noise, so maybe your experience will be better. Braking is good, as is wet pavement adhesion. I don't push the car hard, but handling is adequate. Overall, a good choice for those on a medium budget. Got a visa card with 50 for buying 4 at once.

Running these on my 1995 Ford Escort Wagon and I am SO satisfied with these tires. I have had them for two years with no wearing showing.These are better than Cooper or Michelin and I have ran both on the Escort. It's General Tires for me from now on.

This is the second set I bought, for my 2001 Honda Civic LX this time, based on the performance of the previous set I purchased for my 2006 Honda Accord. In both cases, superior traction compared to the Michelins I had on them before. And a cheaper price.

I bought these tires for my 2003 Ford Mustang (238K orginal owner). I have run through enough different styles of tires, to find that these are the best handling so far on my car. Of course I had to try some high speed cornering and had no slippage (not recommended with OEM suspension). As my car and I have gotten older a smoother ride has become more desirable and these AltiMAX RT43 have been up to the task.

I love these tires. After using Michelins tires for years and not getting the mileage I should have on them I decided to try something new.Saw the reviews on this tire and decided to give it a try. The ride is so smoothe and much quieter  with these tires. Ready to put them on my other Van. Running them on a 1990 Dodge Grand Caravan also going to put them on my 2014 Chrysler Towne and Country.

I like the tires very much . I bought it for the great review for handling  in snow . It does well on the road . But has a hard time getting in the driveway over the plow wake . I think it's the car not the tires . My old car did much more with bad tires.

Full disclosure, I purchased a set of 205/55R16's for my Mazda 3, and they were almost perfect. One small drawback was, they Tramlined. A Lot. And in the Southwest, there's a lot of lateral grooved concrete highway. So the car would dance around my whole commute. Couldn't stand it.  Switched the set onto my 2014 Civic, and was reasonably impressed, a little tramlining here and there, but not enough to cause any sort of worry. So I kept the tire on the Civic, which only sees short commutes,and bought a different brand for my Mazda.  The Altimax rt43 was almost the perfect package. In the rain it kept us safe, but with my long, obnoxious commutes, It was a little too Tramline happy. Otherwise great tire!

I got my new General tires tires before winter. My old tries would easily slide and did not have very good traction in snow at all. I specifically wanted better performing tires in the snow. We just had a historic blizzard last week. We were let out of work early because of the storm. Cars and city busses were stuck all over. I was able to easily make it home 7 miles. I was so happy and relieved.
