Have found the RIGHT TIRE

Long time user of a very good tire however ""brand"" is now driving price and quality, I think, has declined at least over the last 3-4 yrs on sets I've purchased my autos. The General tire brand was recommended by two friends. Very - very pleased with the ride comfort and quiet ride, two areas I have premium requirements

Definitely buying these again

Had these installed December of 2019, it's October 27, 2021  they're still like brand new. Have put approximately 51,000 miles on them. I rotate them at every oil change as well as adjusting the air pressure weekly to ensure that I get the best results from them. They handle great on wet roads and even feel confident on snowy roads.

I would hands down buy these tires again!

My Mercedes Benz 4matic has such a quieter, smoother ride.  I'm extremely picky about dependability and performance.   The handling in the snow and rain has also improved dramatically.  I will never buy another fancy tire name again.  You won't be disappointed!!

Great Tire at a Great Price

I have 10k miles on my Generals and am very happy. I was disappointed that I didn't get to try them in any snow to see how they did. But ride quality,wet performance, noise are all above average. Are there better tires? Yes, but not many. And all of those are twice the price. Will I buy again? Yes. Even if I only were to get 30k miles out of them. But they have hardly worn any at all so far. Buy them. You will like them.

Good tire, terrible treadware

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.

Awesome tires in slush and rain

I bought the AltiMAX RT43s for my Mazda 3 sedan and they were so awesome I bought another set for my kids' Mazda 3 hatchback.  They have great treadwear and are the best I've ever used in the New England slush.  No slipping and great confidence on corners.  I will definitely buy them again.

Snow/Ice/Rain NO PROBLEM!

I've been running this your now for over a year. I have somewhere around 25,000 miles on them and I'm not even half way done with the tread. I am HARD on tires. I run rescue and I'm an aggressive driver at times. These things hold to the road in all conditions! I once responded to a call in ice. I came to a place where about 40 vehicles where stranded on both sides of the road. I drove right up the middle with no issues at all. Oh yeah, the call I was responding to... A 4x4 truck that ran off the road into a tree.  Today I had to get to work in another ice storm. After taking fifteen minutes to clean the ice off my car I made the trek to work with roads covered in close to a 1/4"" of ice on the road. I had no problem at all making it to work or back home in the slush this afternoon. Not only are they great tires for traction, the company stands by their tires.  After about 11,000 miles my rear tire developed a sidewalks bubble.  After cheering with the company, the dealership replaced the tire for free.  I will never put another set of tires on my car.

One of the best traveling tires around.

I use the tires as a daily driver tire, 100 mile round trip, 5 days a week for work. The tires perform Quiet on highway and definitely soak up the rough highways roads we experience in today's travels anymore. Use on several of my other vehicles, and highly recommend to friends and family.

Nice tire at a great price

The Altimax RT43 on our 09 Subaru Impreza has proven itself as a well rounded performer. The ride is smooth, steering input is good, wet weather conditions are easily handled and light snow is within its range of use. Tire wear is far better than original tires.

Thank you General Tire!

I typically look for an inexpensive tire, and as the saying goes ""you get what you pay for"" so I don't expect much.  I got tired (pardon the pun) of similarly iffy performance and value from the likes of Pirelli, Dunlop and ESPECIALLY Firestone.  So I figured I would give GT a shot at earning my business.  I'm on my third full set of four and my second car and don't intend to look back!
