I bought these tires after looking at many reviews.  I wanted good tires for the winter without going into winter tires.  These went on my Nissan cube.  I don't regret it.  I've used them now through a winter season and they are great in any snow.  They have a good grip and I feel safe with them.  They are a 70000 mile tire but the store told me that I would probably get only 50000 due to the softness of the rubber.

I have used General Arctic Altimax for several years and loved them, so I decided to try the RT43 tires on my Toyota Sienna van and Pontiac Vibe. In both instances the ride has been quiet and a good sense of stability. Too soon to tell about tread wear, but they seem to be holding up fine. They do well in rain and snow.

The General AltMAX RT 43 has got to be the best tire I've ever seen in it's class. Reasonably priced, long tread life, holds the road  in dry, wet, and even light snow well. And best of all, the tire is very quiet on the road. I've bought four complete tire sets so far. Two for my cars, two for my daughters cars. Just hope they don't stop making them.

I bought these tires altimax rt43 four months ago because of the great reviews the reviews were right these tires handle great are very quiet . I previously had michelins and was not that impressed but the altimax rt43 are a much better performing tire as well as a good value.I would certainly buy these tires again when i need tires in the future.

I like the performance of these tires and they generally feel and handle well. They were well reviewed for all weather, and they performed well in the rain in the Rockies in the summer. I used them for part of the winter,  but my snow tires--old as they are--are still a better winter tire. The biggest reason I did not use them in the winter, though, was that they acted very unreliably on a long trip. Two tires deflated during a 500 mile trip. The rear driver's side deflated about 300 miles into the trip. There was nothing actually wrong with the tire--no punctures, not cracks--and once filled with air again, the tire performed for the rest of the trip. On the way home, again about 300 miles into the trip (or about 500 miles farther than the first deflation) another tire deflated (this time, the front passenger's side tire). Neither time did the deflation feel noticeable to the driver--different drivers both drove on the deflated tire for longer than ideal without realizing it until stopping. Again, once re-inflated the tire performed alright, though the rubber has been worn a bit by riding low. Since the incident, I took the tires back to the tire shop (Sears auto) where they were installed to be checked over. They said nothing was wrong with the tires beyond the new sidewall wear: no punctures, no problems with the tread, not apparent problems with the valve. Sears told me the warranty was only good on the tread,  and they wouldn't replace them, despite the tire failure happening within 6 months of buying the tires. I'm running on these tires now, because the snows needed to come off, and they make me nervous, to be honest. I have not had any rapid deflations, but I have not driven more than about 100 miles at a time on these. One of the tires that deflated does seem to lose air a little more quickly than it should. I'd just like to know what the problem is, since the auto center refused to speculate and I have no idea if these tires are really safe.

I bought these tires for my 2003 Ford Mustang (238K orginal owner). I have run through enough different styles of tires, to find that these are the best handling so far on my car. Of course I had to try some high speed cornering and had no slippage (not recommended with OEM suspension). As my car and I have gotten older a smoother ride has become more desirable and these AltiMAX RT43 have been up to the task.

4 full seasons on these tires and I am extremely pleased. 2 long 2500 mile road trips (1 year apart) and the tires ran smooth as can be on our Toyota Sienna. We live in Snow country and since the tires were new decided to keep these on rather than switch to true snow tires. They performed very well in the snow not so well on stopping on ice.

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!

I have run Generals on my 4Runner, RAV4 and my daughters Legacy.  Very happy with all of the tires.  They get a great rating from Consumer Reports.  I run snows as well as all season (BTW snows stop you over 300 feet shorter in snow and ice at 55 MPH as AWD or 4WD don't help you stop!!!). I will continue to buy

This is the second set of these tires we have purchased.  The first set I put on my wife's car but we ended up selling that car shortly after so we didn't really have a chance to see how they would do in the long run.   When my wife's newer car needed tires we went with these again, different size though.  They are a great tire for the price and for being made in the USA.   They do great in the rain and do surprisingly very good in snow.  The only complaint if I had to give one is like other people have reported that on some surfaces the tires can be a little louder than a lot of other ones.   If the tire is a little louder due to a more aggressive tred pattern that got us through a lot of snow with hardly any slipping and great corning, there are no complaints.
