Good Tire

Good but not certainly not great.  For reference I drive a 2015 Taurus SEL.  The ride from these tires I would consider as very good.  Road noise is  low.  The main detractions I have noticed is:  traction in heavy rain is poor and handling at higher speeds is not solid.  I was suprised when I sensed the car sliding while driving in a heavy rain at 65 -70 MP;  I took my foot off the accelerator and it immediately straightened out.  I have not had them long enough to comment on wear.  The tires I had before these were Pirelli Centuratos,  they were not as good as the AltiMAX on ride and noise,  but better on rain and handling.

Best all season tires

I've had these tires on my 3 cars so far and absolutely love them. They are really good in any weather, deep snow included. Quiet ride, very good grip, great control and wear for a very long time and are not expensive. Last pair later around 50k before I had to get new ones. I have stopped looking for better tires and get Altimax RT43 whenever I need new tires.

My ""Go To"" tire is the Alitimax RT43

I work in the automotive field and recommend tires for specific applications to clients on a daily basis. The Altimax RT43 has become a very common and practical choice for many drivers, myself included. No other tire in it's price range comes close to delivering the reliable performance and longevity of the Altimax RT43. I even installed a set on my college-bound daughter's car. I guess you could say that the Altimax RT43 also delivers a secure state of mind too!

great all around tire

bought these tires 30k ago and they still look new and are quiet. they have great dry traction, perform very well in the wet and resist hydroplaning at highway speeds. they performed well enough in the snow and ice that i didn't have to buy a set of winter tires.

So far so good

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.

Good Grip In Bad Weather

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.

Great reliable tires!

I am a full time rideshare driver in Massachusetts and drive average of 1k miles/week. When I replaced all 4 tires my 2016 Subaru Forester 2.5i AWD Premium drives fantastic. Great traction on both dry and wet surfaces. Handles much much better than with previous tires that came with it. Price is never less but worth every penny of it. Overall I'm very satisfied with General Tires. Recommended to all professional rideshare, fleet and family cars.

solid x 3

This is the third set of Altimax tires (on 3 different cars mind you) and all of them have been excellent so far.  I don't stress the tires too much and only 1 set has more than 20K miles on to date, the traction has been good, mileage as good as the other econ oriented tires before these, and noise levels have been excellent.  For the price, I just don't see how to beat them - thank you General!

Awesome Performance with an Affordable Price

I have brought these for 2 different cars now because I really liked the good performance and reasonable price of the tires the first time so I brought them again for another car.  They work well in dry conditions like most tires but work almost equally well in rain and snow conditions.  Haven't had any problems with getting stuck in the snow yet with these tires.  They also have a very high tread life rating in which they are still going strong for me.  A long tread life is really nice to avoid having to buy new tires too often as that is not cheap maintenance to do.  Also with long tread life you avoid longer a worn tread condition that can cause hydroplaning in rain to lose control or lost of traction in the snow to get stuck.  Both are dangerous and scary situations for yourself and others to be in when driving.  So I highly recommend these tires for a overall good deal for good performance and for budget conscience people.

Excellent value!

Bought these tires for a Subaru Outback and could not be happier. While the ride is not any quieter than the Continentals they replaced, they stick just as well on wet and dry roads and even better on snow. For the money, I have been very impressed. Too new to comment on tread wear.
