After a great deal of online research including a good recommendation from Consumer Reports, I chose the AltiMAX RT43.  I determined it the best overall tire to be driven by me in the south.  The tire grips the road in the rain, and I have no fear of hydroplaning. The interstate driving has been decidedly pleasant, and no differentiation can be noted at different speeds. When a little get up and go is needed, the tires perform well with the V-Tech engine. Time will tell about the wear.

I bought these tires for my 2011 Chevy Aveo. I've never had good handling in the rain and these aren't much better but they are the best tires I've had so far. I typically drive 20,000-30,000 miles per year and Michelin doesn't make an all-season tire for my car, they only make a snow tire, that's why I bought these tires. They handle great on dry and snowy surfaces but in the rain they are bad. I think it's just the 2011 Chevy Aveo that has bad handling, so I can't fault the General Altimax R43.

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.

Bought tires 7mos ago, 5000mi, it's a truly all season capable tire providing great traction in wet conditions, and good traction in snow.  I noticed an improvement on snow/ice over the previous version of the Altimax which we we were also happy with especially due to  traction in wet conditions.

Have put this tire on three different cars now, and not been disappointed.  It is the best ""all season"" tire I have ever used in the snow.  Obviously it's not a snow tire but when in the first 50% of it's life it's amazingly good in the snow.  Wet traction is very good too.  Also the tire is not noisy - I have a very low threshold for tolerating noisy tires (i.e. I hate road noise) - this tire is quiet. Overall I think it's very hard to beat this tire as an all around tire. A great value and I highly recommend.

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.

I have 3 sets of these tire on a CRV, Outback, and Element. They are great tires. I like the fact that they are quiet tires that don't generate a lot of road noise. The vehicles are all AWD, and I live in North East,  Ohio which gets a lot of snow. They work well in snow and on wet roads, they get good traction, and stop straight. I haven't been in a warranty situation but I expect them to have a long life. The tires were competitively priced and I try to rotate them regularly. I recommend these tires to my friends.

I reviewed tires for several weeks before I purchased the General Altimax.It was a great purchase.It was a great improvement over the tires that came on my Civic.I would replace with the same tire if something would occur that ruined these tires(accident etc).

We had put these tires on my daughter's 2003 Honda, our 2014 Sonata, and on a 2017 Elantra.  They wear well and they're great all-season's for the southwest PA winter weather.   The Sonata had almost 30,000 and were in great shape when we recently traded in the car.  I don't know the exact treadwear, however.    We will definitely purchase these tires again.

2011 Kia Optima SX Turbo. I missed the 1st snow fall here in Chicago, as the tires hadn't arrived yet; this allowed me to gauge how good the tires would be. 2nd snowfall...no problem. Really love the bite of these tires in the snow and ice. Confident grip. They also did well on the rain we got before the snow. Very much loving this purchase!
