AltiMax RT43  --- a very good all season tire

I was looking for good all rounder tire set for my Jetta.  I stumbled on the AltiMax RT 43s and watched the reviews on YOUTUBE--very impressive and so I purchased a set.  I am not disappointed and you will not be either--highly recommended for all seasons--excellent rain traction and good in the light snow.

General (no pun intended) All Around Good Tire

The General Tire AltiMAX RT43 have been a marked improvement over the OEM tires (Hankook) that I received for my 2016 Hyundai Azera.  Overall, the ride qualify improved (less road noise, smoother ride over most surfaces), improved traction on wet roadways, and the handling I'd say is a step or two above the Hakooks.  One area that I haven't had a chance to test yet is traction in snowy/ice.  I live in North Carolina and the winters here are mild at best (with a few days or randmom weeks of 'true winter') so I can't attest to the snow/ice capability for these tires.  This is my second time owning a set of General Tire and I have to say that I am quite pleased with the brand as a whole and would not hesitate to recommend General Tire to anyone looking for a good all around tire for their vehicle.

Great combination of ride and handling

Have had these for about a month, using on my 86 Mercedes 560SL.  So far I'm very impressed by the tires - fantastic handling, ride is smooth with very minimal road noise at all (a vast improvement over previous tires).  Will have to wait a year or two to assess the treadwear overall - but I'm really impressed, especially with the value here of quality versus price.

Excellent performance. Very quiet. Great deal.

All season tires. Yes. Quiet. Yes. Beautiful. Yes. Why are they beautiful? The design includes wear indicators on when the tread is too worn and you need to replace. The tires are quiet and the ride is true to the road. Very affordable. Just an incredible bang for your buck. I bought these tires also because my stock tires wore out quickly. These tires have an above average safety rating and are all weather and affordable and come with beautiful features.

Great in snow

I was looking for an all season tire to run fall to spring on my 2001 Honda Civic.  Living in MN means it has to be good in snow and this tire delivers.  It does very well in snow.  Its a little on the noisy side but who cares with grip like this.  And it is inexpensive too.

Great traction

Had these tires a few months now and I couldn't ask for better traction in the snow.  It has made it harder to have fun in the snow. :)  No longer am I afraid of getting stuck.  Awesome tire with a good price.  Tread pattern cleans out well when in mud or snow.

Terrific tire!

My upon service at my Subaru dealer and needing new tires, my service advisor recommended the General Altimax RT43 for my 2015 Outback.  I am so glad I went with his recommendation.  That tire has improved the ride, comfort level, handling and stability of the car greatly.

Driving on a cloud!

This is my first set of Generals for my Hyundai Sonata and I will continue to use them in the future.  They have a soft feel but grip the road wonderfully and handle great.  I do a lot of highway driving and they have held up extremely well and deliver a quiet and smooth ride.  They are the best tires I have owned yet and I have 250,000 miles on my car and still going strong.  They're a great product and I highly recommend them.

Not a good tire for an 09 Vibe

There is something very wrong with these tires on highways with grooves in them, the small grooves that are in the cement on newer highways. These tires follow the grooves and make the car go side to side and makes you feel like you are on ice. It is violent and makes you feel like the rear end of your car is broken. I tried to live with the sway/side to side movement for about 2000 miles hoping they would break in a little and I finally decided to try another brand of tire and it was night and day difference, 100% improvement. I've had two other sets of tires on my car and do regular alignments, I've never had this issue before. My last set of tires wore evenly and properly, no issues. These tires are pretty good otherwise, and do great in the snow which is the main reason I got them. They tend to bounce a little at low speeds if your car has been sitting for a while. But I could not deal with the fear of driving on the highway anymore if they had the long grooves/lines in them.

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.
