Best tire out there!

I drive all around to and from work, running errands and just joyriding. The tires are firm and grippy, just the way I like it. I have more control overall. I am more confident when stopping and just more security with these tires. There is nothing bad I can say about them. Excellent tire and I recommend them to everyone!

Much better... ride, noise, snow... than OEM tire

I bought them around the first of December and we've had every driving condition possible since then... snow, ice, wet, dry and this tire has performed as well or better than expected.  I've already put over 15,000 on them and they still feel like they're brand new.  A great value...   I checked out all of the major brand's ratings and user reviews of the tires they had to offer and I felt the Altimax RT43 offered the best value.  I could have spent more money per tire with a couple of brands but I don't think I would have received any more life, performance or safety than the Altimax.  I made the right choice.

Quality general purpose touring tire.

A quiet, stable touring tire. When I went to get tires, I told my salesperson wet traction was my number one concern, and these were recommended. Alas, not so good in that department, but a very decent tire otherwise. Quietness was my number two concern. Who needs to add hum to all the rest of the road noises? For the price, these are good in that respect.

No news is good news.

Tires have been on SUV for 8 months without my being aware of any problem.  Recommended by dealer I have relied on for over 20 years. Bought at good price and a recommendation that they would last. Probably the last tires I will buy for my  2011 Equinox.

99 TOYOTA CAMRY

I had Altimaxes on my last car, a 98 Corolla, that were wonderful and lasted forever. That's why I have them on my beautiful 1999 Camry. They are even longer lasting than they were on my Corolla.  The only negative I have, which is my reason for removing one star, has to do with the Tire Wear Monitor built into the tread. The problem is I don't want or need anything that tells me or possibly an overzealous inspector when my tires need changing out. I make that call... period!   Worn tires need to be replaced at the correct time, when things like funds are available, not at Xmas time, the tires with fresh date codes must be in stock, it's prior to Winter, when I have the time, etc. It's not like these well made tires will explode or lose all traction the day after a wear indicator shows through the tread. But if at inspection, an insector fails my car because the unnecessary tire indicator says ""REPLACE TIRE"", I'll be upset. Again. It's my call and my responsibility, so General... listen up.... instead of a useless tire wear monitor, just give the rubber back to the tire you removed to create the stupid monitor which will give it a bit more life.

Best bang for the buck

These tires replaced the oem tires on my vehicle that were more than 75% worn at 37,000 miles. The performance in the rain/snow is outstanding, and what is particularly impressive is that on the highway they track superbly. The road feel is good, a little stiffer than the oem's but not a deal breaker. Ihave also put these on my dad and daughter's cars.

Awesome Tires

After considerable research I was down to 3 choices and decided to purchase the General  RT43 Altimax in June 2017 for my 2010 Toyota Matrix. Best decision ever! I am thrilled with the performance they provide. With superior handling in the rain and excellent in snow I couldn't ask for anything better living in MI. On Fuel Efficiency- my vehicle gets great MPG  City / Hwy, I don't find that the tires increased or decreased this. Final analysis - Best tires ever, one won't go wrong with the RT43 AltiMAX.

5,000 miles in and absolutely no issues

I have these tires on a 2016 Hyundai Elantra. Its seeing mostly Highway and interstate driving between KY and MO. I've had no issues in the elements I've encountered the past few months (hot, wet, cold, or ice). I will probably buy a 5th tire to use as a spare since I'm not a fan of donuts. I'm not seeing any wear or abnormal indications on any of the four I have, and the ride seems better compared to the factory tires which had about 40,000 on them when changed.

I'm on my second set of these tires!

I commute 64 miles a day for work and live in northwest PA, experiencing treacherous winters.  The General Altimax Rt43 have been the best tires I've ever owned.(I'm on set #2)  I use them year round on a 2008 Ford Fusion!  I am most impressed with their winter capabilities.  I drive in heavy snow and ice conditions at times and never have to wonder if I'm going to make it.  If you adjust your driving to the conditions, these tires will not disappoint.  The other great feature is the water displacement.   The roads I travel have ruts which collect water when it rains.  They have very good resitence to hydroplaning.  While I didn't get anywhere near the mileage of the warranty, they lasted me 2 years and wore evenly.   This is quite a feat if you've ever driven on Pennsylvania roads  I would highly recommend these tires if you appreciate getting from point a to b safely!

Better Than Expected

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.
