Best small-car tire value with quality.

Bought 4 new General Altimax RT43 (186/65R14) for my Prizm/Corolla just before the long Michigan winter. Worked just EXCELLENT in the winter snow, slush, and rain on this small car with a 5 speed manual transmission! Very Good at taking bad roads, too. Have your local tire company order and install, best way to go. This is the absolute best value for a top-quality all-season small car tire.

No complaints

I bought these tires before winter because I didn't want to go through a Chicago winter with the original Continentals at 59000 miles. These are a great replacement. They perform better than expected on snow and slick surfaces. The ride is fine, they are quiet, ( MUCH quieter than 59000 originals I replaced). So far, I would definitely buy them again.

Altimax RT43

I purchased the altimax RT43 8/18. I got to tell you that these tire are awesome. Smooth and quiet ride. Long lasting tred life. Convenient replacement tire monitor on the tred. It also has that misalignment feature. I have a 2010 dodge grand caravan tire size is 225/65 R17. I can hardly tell I'm in a mini van.

Good wear and traction

Put them on before winter and had no problems in light or heavy snow. They have a good traction on both snow and rainy days. Although not quite on dry roads in my small Sentra car. Tireso huming can be heard in side the car. Over 20,000 miles and little wear is all that is seen.

Really Disappointed

I bought my wife a set of Altimax tires for her Honda CRV. After much research, I was convinced that the Altimax was the best tires for treadwear vs price. Even Consumer Report gave them a good rating.  I hate to give negative reviews, but thus far, the only worse tires I ever purchased were Khumo. My wife is a slow and careful driver, rarely exceeding 55 mph, even on the interstate. With 38,000 miles on these tires, the wear bar is already very visible with only about 3/32 tread wear remaining on each tire. A few more thousand miles and I will be able to see the air in these tires.  The wear is very even across the tires, eliminating any mechanical alignment problems. Very disappointed. I can only hope General will pro rate these tires and help me out. If not, I will continue my search for a decent tire brand that is affordable. It certainly is not General.

Good Tire for Price

These are good tires, and consistent with online reviews that I read when I was doing my research before buying new replacement tires.  They have ""tough"" sidewalls for a lower aspect tire, meaning that they do not get sidewall damage when you can't avoid hitting a pothole - of which there are many in Michigan.  I've also found them to work well in snow and track well in the wet.  The ride is good and they are relatively quiet - also seem to handle corners quite well.  The weird thing is they feel ""out of round"" after the car sits overnight...which goes away in the first mile of so after you start driving...I also read this in a couple of other reviews - no big deal, I guess.  These tires are very well priced and a perform very well, particularly considering the price point vs other competitors and their applicable tires in the size that fits the 18"" wheels on my Buick Verano - I would say I drive my cars in a fairly proactive manner...so tires that perform well are important.

Smooth Ride

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.

Great handling tires.

I purchased these tires this past fall. Living in northern Minnesota I was able to travel in snowy and icy conditions. The tires were more than I expected in the snow. Traction and handling was great in the adverse conditions. My wife and I traveled to Florida late December and ran into icy roads in northern Arkansas. I was so impressed how the tires handled on the icy roads. I would not think twice about purchasing this tire again, truly a great product. General tires will be going on my truck as soon as the need arises.

Awesome Tires

I've had these tires for a few months and love them.  The ride is very smooth and quiet and the grip is great!  They were the highest rated tire when I bought them and I completely understand why and totally agree.  Pricing was better than expected so the value is excellent.

Great fit for Prius

I put these on my Prius before the winter and I've been very pleased with them. I have put about 6,000 miles on the tires and have found that they are very quiet so far. The best feature is that they seem to perform very well in winter conditions for an all-season tire. I have also found that they are good in wet conditions as well. Gas mileage seems to be pretty good too.
