After reading TONS of reviews of tires for my car, I decided on the General Altimax RT 43 for several reasons:  1: I exclusively used General Tires on my truck, and their tread life was exceptional (up to 80k miles with rotation every 5k miles) 2: Tires are the only part of your car that touches the road. It is worth it to spend a little more for quality tires than get the cheapest you can find. 3: Since we get snow in the northeast, I wanted something with good snow traction without having to get full-blown winter tires.  The General Altimax RT 43's completely fit the bill. They are quiet, responsive, have excellent dry and wet grip, and have unique features to help me monitor their tread life and alignment.

Only average 5-6,000 miles per year. Tires were purchased in 2015 so they are beyond the 72 month time period as specified in warranty.   Altimax RT43's only had 36,000 miles on them and wouldn't pass state of PA annual inspection. Tires rotated but not often enough. Still would expect to get much closer to the warranted tread wear life of 65,000 miles.   Will not purchase this brand again.

Original tires were worn so it was due to replace all 4, on October 25, 2017. Also had front and rear brakes replaced as well. Since last October, smooth driving with limited issues from original tires, AltiMax RT43 are better that described and a reasonable tire in this day and age, would buy again on other family cars

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.

I put a set of Altimax 43's on my wife's 2013 Ford C-Max in October 2017 and was impressed enough to put a set on my 2005 Ford 500 in January of 2018. Very good wet traction but am most impressed with how quiet they are at highway speeds. Holding off 5 stars until seeing how they wear over time. Only downside is the tires will ""thump"" a bit if the vehicles are parked more than 3 days but goes away as they will start to get more round after about 3 miles. Overall, vey happy, good tires at a good price..

This is the second purchase of these tires first set went on an a 03 Toyota Echo. Ran on them for 3 yrs. So then bought a 14 Toyota Corolla have had them on for 8000 miles. Superb tires ran through the snow this past winter. I tell everyone I know you need to buy these tires.

Bought for 2001 Avalon over a year ago. 15,000 miles and still beefy in front/ look full tread in rear (haven't rotated them yet). One of the better all seasons I've ever used in the snow and, during one major ice storm, kept me on the road for a 22 mile drive home. Bought some for a sister's Nissan Versa... price was super good again and she loves them. She doesn't drive that much, and isn't much of a car person, but has said more than once they are quiet and she feels confident to drive in the rain.

I bought this tire based on the many reviews that stated how great it was in snow. We bought a house in north Idaho as a vacation rental and I travel there once a month to check on it. In the winter, there is a pretty significant amount of snow there and on the passes I need to traverse.  I have to say that this is a great tire. It is quiet and tracks very well in rain. Snow performance is off the charts. 12 inches of snow didn't phase it at all. Even on ice it works as well as possible.   Personally, I never buy dedicated snow tires and this tire makes it easy. Just mount and drive.   I can't comment on tread life as I have only put on about 4k miles on them. But all indications that 45k should not be a problem. These are mounted on my 2004 Toyota Highlander 4WD.

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.

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.
