Felt more than comfortable with these new Altimax RT43 tires. I purchased them in November and soon after went on a long MN road trip through rain/snow & icy conditions. Not once did I feel unsure about my purchase & would highly recommend this tire.

I bought these tires about 3 months ago. They have good traction no worries about hydroplaneing. The price is right, economical plus good value. I've had general tires in the past and always had great performance. These I'm sure will give the same results.

These tires are noisier than average as indicated in Consumer Reports but worth it for the safety of performance. Used on a 2011 Kia Sorento two-wheel-drive SUV the noise level on most interstate highway speeds would be objectionable to people who are used to riding in luxury cars but would seem fine to jeep and older pickup truck drivers.  In my application steering is incredibly precise and very controllable under all conditions. I don't know about traction because I have never had wheel slip occur in either acceleration or braking, possibly partly because I don't tailgate in order to save fuel.

I bought a set of 4 Altimax General Tires (255/45 R19) for the ol' SHO Taurus & have to say, I am pleased.  Tread life & wear is fantastic after about 10k miles & they seem to hold the road well with a more than acceptable amount of grip.  I would definitely run another set of them!

I bought these tires for Mazda3 2015. From a day I put them on, I have done 6k.plus miles and I cannot say anything else than they give a great traction and handling on dry & wet surface. No aquaplaning at all! As of now I can recommend them for every day use. I'm looking forward to see how they will handle a winter in North NJ

Great tires. Replaced a set of Continentals. Had General Altimax several years ago which were not RT43´s. They were good. The latest are even better. Equal to or better than Continentals or Michelins. Will be curious to see how they wear. Good dry and wet traction, will see how they do in the snow.

I bought these tires 08/11/18 to go on my 2016 Outback. Looked all over the internet for what would be the best tire for my Subaru and these were recommended by many. They are quiet, after properly balanced have a very smooth ride! They hold the road and corner very well. Haven't had them in the snow, ski trip canceled, but wet roads aren't any problem at all. They seem to be wearing well, so bottom line would I recommend these tires? You bet I would. Big price brand names aren't an issue with me, value is what I desire and that's what i got.

We had General Grabbers on our Sorento when we purchased it. They were really good tires along of grip in most road conditions etc...  after having these tires on the car for almost 4 years she decided before winter that 4/32 wasn't enough tread to go through PA winter. We decided to purchase General Altimax RT43 because of the success the General Grabbers had. The Altimax 43 did just as good with almost all of the conditions the Grabbers went through. However the Altimax didn't last long at all. About 20k miles and 2.5 years later they need replaced. I actually kept the Grabbers in the shed incase I needed them. I am glad I did because the tires altimax barely have water channels left. I am very disappointed with how long these tires have lasted. Going through the warranty replacement is no fun either as we are supposed to go back to where we bought them and they'd prorate them. That's kind of ridiculous to me.

This review is on my first set.   Bought my first set and needed to replace them sooner than expected.  Bought my second set only because dealer gave me a small discount because of the short tread life on the first set I bought from them.  I hope the ones I have on my car now will hold up this time. I will not buy these tires again if they don't.

When I shop for new tires, I look to find the perfect tire that offers the best blend of expected tread lifespan, superb traction & grip in all types of weather (I live in the Midwest... land of snow and rain!), low road noise, and a reasonable price. In short, I want the best combined value for all tire metrics. The Altimax RT43 has proven to do just that  We're over one year in and ~20,000 miles later... these tires are holding up nicely on all counts. Glad I made this choice.
