Better than advertised.

I bought 4 replacement tires each for 2 of my cars (Honda Odyssey and CRV) within the last year because I owned them before. The previous set on my Acura TL looked brand new with very little wear when I sold the car after 28,000 miles. The new sets are less than 1 year old and have ~5,000 miles on them. The ride on these tires, as on the previous set, is so unbelievably smooth and comfortable that you are lulled into sleep. They buffer the bumps on the roads better than any other sets I had on my cars including Bridgestones and Michelins. You almost get addicted to the ride. If you couple these features with better than average handling on wet/snowy roads, excellent mileage warranty of 65,000 - 75,000 and an exceptional price, it is almost criminal to buy any other brand of tires for your personal/family driving needs.

Great Tires!

I purchased two sets of the General AltiMax RT43 tires. One set went on my Honda Civic and the other on our Honda Odyssey. Both sets are just over one year old and they are wearing very well. The ride is good, quiet and traction is good. I would purchase them again.

Rides like a more expensive tire

I've driven my Altimax RT43 tires for over 6,000 miles on an old 2004 Honda Civic. These are outstanding tires. They are extremely quiet tires and add little to no noise to the road. On a good road, you won't hear these tires. They are a solid, comfortable ride and handle great on the road, on curves and in turns. On the highway, they ride smooth. In curves and turns, I've never felt like the tires were going to lose the car as I have on some other tires. Traction is excellent in our Texas downpours and I've never lost control of the car while driving in rain. I can't address ice or snow as we had a mild winter this year. These Generals were a huge improvement over my old Bridgestones (which admittedly were not bad tires). Overall, they ride and handle like much more expensive touring tires. I'd definitely buy a set of these again.

Very Good tires so far

Have put about 4000 miles on them so far. I can really tell the difference on the road. They are a lot better than the original equipment. They seem to hug the road, especially on curves. Very reminiscent of the Corvette I owned 15 years ago. We'll see this winter how they do on snow and ice

Suprisingly good in snow

I bought this tire as a test to see how well all season tires would do in winter (and I got tired of changing from summer to winter tires and back).  I live in the Spokane, WA area and we do get on average 40+ inches of snow in a winter.  Well, I have to say, I was pretty pleased with the tires performance in snow.  Yes, it's not a full blown snow tire, but it has done quite well in our conditions.

Great SUV tires!

Installed these on my 2015 GMC Terrain and could not be happier. They have great grip on both dry and wet roads, even in icy weather. I also never feel out of control through bends on highways when driving sporty in dry conditions. They are a bit loud on rough road but so are most tires in this category. They are pretty much silent on smooth asphalt road surfaces and fairly quiet on concrete paved freeways.

Good Decision

Glad i made this choice for my 2011 Camry. Tires are smooth, quiet and I although I have not driven in a NY winter yet, my expectation is that they will perform based on tread pattern  I am extremely happy so far with the AltiMax RT43 and recommend these tires.

Great tire for the money!

I have 6,000 miles on these tires and will rotate shortly. I  am very pleased with them at this point. They are quiet and seem to have good traction. I will be putting this same tire on my 2001 Chevrolet S-10. I can`t rate tread life and fuel efficiency at this time.

Quiet ride

Tires ride well very quiet. Installed in the fall and drove them all winter. 150 miles per day commute even in the worst storms these were confident traction. Didn't replace my snow tires after seeing how the went. Glad I purchased these RT43s. I typically replace the factory tires with Kumho and have run them in the past. These Generals are better in the wet and snow conditions than any Kumhos which is why I was putting on snow tires. Just rotated after 25k and rebalance. No wear showing at all and ride is great on highway for over 2 hours a day. Will buy them again. Just watch your speed ratings. I found the 205/55R15s came in an uncommon T speed rating but after breaking them in it doesn't seem to matter much when driving normal speeds and low speed cornering.

Nice Tires

Have only had for about 5000 miles, but they seem to be considerably quieter and a smoother ride than with my previous tires.  May have even gotten a little better gas mileage with them.  Overall, I am very satisfied with them.  Will see how well they hold up.
