Good tire

This is the second set I have purchased for my old Neon. I do not baby this car at all. That being said, the tires handle well. The wet traction is very good even to the end of usable life. I got 45k miles out of the last set which is very acceptable considering how aggressive I drive.

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.

Good general use tire.

I bought these tires in the spring after the winter thaw changed our streets to a war zone. Great ride and great traction great wear life. Me only complaint is this set of tires picked up pea gravel like a magnet and it is hard to shed the gravel while driving.

All three cars have Altimax 43s now

First I bought a set of Altimax RT43s for my 1990 Mazda Miata in part because few tire builders make tires for that car. But I liked what they did for the ride and handling. So, a few months later, I put a set on my 2012 Acura TSX Sportwagon. After all, an online tire selector at a major retailer recommended the tires for the car, and a consumer review I ran across said you could pay more for a set of tires, but why would you want to? Again, the ride and handling are fine. So, this winter, when we could no longer get my wife's 2007 Honda Odyssey minivan up our driveway whenever it snowed, it was no contest. Another set of Altimax RT43s for good grip in snow. Plus, you guessed it, good ride and handling. Three different cars. One good value in tires. General Altimax RT 43s.

80% snowtires, amazing dry performance

Bought this pair of tires before the 2017 winter season to replace summers on my 2017 WRX. Since then I have driven them through blizzards to Mammoth; unpaved snow on I-80 white-outs after CHP closed off all on-ramps to Donner Pass. With of course some caution, have never gotten in trouble. Straight-line/down-hill stopping distance in snow/ice conditions leave some to be desired but they are not snow-tires. By far one of the best all-seasons I've had, with mild compromise on dry and snow conditions compared to dedicated snow tires and dunlop summers.

Great wet/Snow tracrion

Great traction in rain, snow for a all season tire. Very impressed. Have driven only about 7500 miles on them, but so far have been outstanding. Tired seems to be holding up very well. Will buy these same tires for our other car when the original tires wear out.

Well worth buying

They are better than a four, but they are brand new. I had a set of General Grabber's on my 94 Ford Ranger for about 4 1/2 years and got about 60k on them when they were finally about worn out with 2-3/32 of tread on them. So I was going to buy another set because they were great.  However they didn't make them in my size so I bought these instead in the last week of June 2019, and man and I happy.  These are EXTREMELY quiet was the first thing I noticed.  They had an initial grip from being virgin rubber that I really like but I thought that would wear away very quickly.  So far I've put 1000 miles on them in dry and most recently a severe down pour with several inches of rain that I had a very long drive in.  THey performed like no body's business.  Not a single bit of hydroplaning or squirly steering at all.  Gripped the roads during sharp turns at high speeds all the time.  I can't rate tread life due to being new and I can't rate fuel effiency because they haven't changed it.

Nice Handling

I bought these on the recommendation of Consumer Reports. I departed from standard procedure in that I got these top-rated all-season car tires for my SUV (instead of tires designed for an SUV). I am happy with the handling. They seem to do better than previous tires in fuel efficiency. My only gripe is that there might be too much road feel, if there can be too much of that.

The Right Choice

I'm really pleased with these new Generals. Took a 2000 mile road trip to the N.C. mountains are they stuck like glue thru the switchbacks. They're much quieter then the Michelins they replaced and have a smoother ride feel. The wet traction is excellent.

Awesome Performance with an Affordable Price

I have brought these for 2 different cars now because I really liked the good performance and reasonable price of the tires the first time so I brought them again for another car.  They work well in dry conditions like most tires but work almost equally well in rain and snow conditions.  Haven't had any problems with getting stuck in the snow yet with these tires.  They also have a very high tread life rating in which they are still going strong for me.  A long tread life is really nice to avoid having to buy new tires too often as that is not cheap maintenance to do.  Also with long tread life you avoid longer a worn tread condition that can cause hydroplaning in rain to lose control or lost of traction in the snow to get stuck.  Both are dangerous and scary situations for yourself and others to be in when driving.  So I highly recommend these tires for a overall good deal for good performance and for budget conscience people.
