Bought for 2001 Avalon over a year ago. 15,000 miles and still beefy in front/ look full tread in rear (haven't rotated them yet). One of the better all seasons I've ever used in the snow and, during one major ice storm, kept me on the road for a 22 mile drive home. Bought some for a sister's Nissan Versa... price was super good again and she loves them. She doesn't drive that much, and isn't much of a car person, but has said more than once they are quiet and she feels confident to drive in the rain.

I needed tires for my compact winter sedan.  I am a mechanical engineer and an SCCA sports-car racer for more than 12 years.  Tires can make a worn-out jalopy feel new again, or a performance car drive like an old washcloth.  Looking for tires for a winter sedan, I studied the tread patterns and associated reviews of many all-season tires.  I did not want to buy full-winter tires as I don't find this area all that snowy.  Some reviews were conducted by magazines, others were customer reviews like this one.  This being a winter sedan to be used where salt is used to generate slush, grip in slushy conditions was a higher priority than ultimate grip in dry conditions.  Also being that roads are poorly maintained where I drive, ride quality was also a higher priority than ultimate grip in dry conditions.  Finally, I decided on the AltiMAX RT43's.  They mounted/balanced well and fuel economy is close to what the vehicle manufacturer advertises.  The grip is quite good in snow/slush/rain.  They are very quiet.  The ride quality is very nice.  And I found them  to be a little squirmy in dry/damp conditions when driving at higher speeds - as expected.  I am very satisfied with this tire and it will be at the top of my list the next time I research tires for this purpose.  I have put about 5,000 winter miles on this set of tires.

Bought these tires in fall. We live in northern Wisconsin. We had a wet fall and above normal snowfall this winter. Also ice covered roads. These tires had no problem plowing through 7""-9"" of snow with are Subaru Forester. Handled great on wet pavement. Also handled ice cover roads better than I expected. I highly recommend these tires. We have 20,000 miles on these tires an seem to be wearing well. I rotate every 5000 miles.

Took the time to research product, wanted tires that were quiet ,long life and good traction.So far they have performed in all 3 areas after driving about 2000 miles, would give 5 star rating in time if they hold up. They make our 05 Scion Xb drive and handle like a new car.  Thank you General tire.

I use the tires as a daily driver tire, 100 mile round trip, 5 days a week for work. The tires perform Quiet on highway and definitely soak up the rough highways roads we experience in today's travels anymore. Use on several of my other vehicles, and highly recommend to friends and family.

I had the AltiMax RT43 on my Equinox for over a year now. We live in northern Illinois. Great traction in the rain & snow, and good traction on the icy roads. I bought a second set for my 2006 Grand Prix. They are currently my ""go to"" tire for all my vehicles.

First purchase of General tires and I'm very pleased.  Bought set of 4 for my wife's Ford Taurus Limited AWD.  Tires have a great ride, excellent dry and wet traction.  Price was determining factor but these tires are competitive with tires costing much more.

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.

2012 Honda Fit Sport (5-speed).  Good traction in the wet.  Good traction in the dry.  Quiet tires compared to the Yokohamas that were on the car before.  A little softer in the corners, but I like how the tires do not track as easily with grooves in the road surface.  Driven 25 miles a day on a mix of side streets, 4 lane roads, and highways.  I only use these in the non-snow seasons.  Easy pick for compact cars in my experience.  Hope this review helps.

I did a lot of research before choosing these tires.  I  managed Bridgestone owned service locations for a number of years, and have always been partial to their product.  But when I read all the reviews for the RT43 at a much better price point, I decided to give them a shot.  I'm very glad I did.  Great hoops at a great price.
