All around great tire

When I shop for new tires, I look to find the perfect tire that offers the best blend of expected tread lifespan, superb traction & grip in all types of weather (I live in the Midwest... land of snow and rain!), low road noise, and a reasonable price. In short, I want the best combined value for all tire metrics. The Altimax RT43 has proven to do just that  We're over one year in and ~20,000 miles later... these tires are holding up nicely on all counts. Glad I made this choice.

Well worth buying

They are better than a four, but they are brand new. I had a set of General Grabber's on my 94 Ford Ranger for about 4 1/2 years and got about 60k on them when they were finally about worn out with 2-3/32 of tread on them. So I was going to buy another set because they were great.  However they didn't make them in my size so I bought these instead in the last week of June 2019, and man and I happy.  These are EXTREMELY quiet was the first thing I noticed.  They had an initial grip from being virgin rubber that I really like but I thought that would wear away very quickly.  So far I've put 1000 miles on them in dry and most recently a severe down pour with several inches of rain that I had a very long drive in.  THey performed like no body's business.  Not a single bit of hydroplaning or squirly steering at all.  Gripped the roads during sharp turns at high speeds all the time.  I can't rate tread life due to being new and I can't rate fuel effiency because they haven't changed it.

Not my first rodeo with the AltiMax tire

I purchased my first AltiMax tire for my Tacoma truck several years ago. When it was time to replace the tires on my CR-V General tire was my first choice. This is a good all season tires that has good tread life, performs in the rain and sweltering heat.

Altimax RT 43

I've had these tires for about 1000 miles now. So far I have driven in dry and wet weather. The traction is very good in rain and the handling is good on dry pavement. The ride is softer than my previous tires, which I like. I bought these tires mainly for the good reviews in snowy conditions so hopefully I will see the improvement this winter.

Have found the RIGHT TIRE

Long time user of a very good tire however ""brand"" is now driving price and quality, I think, has declined at least over the last 3-4 yrs on sets I've purchased my autos. The General tire brand was recommended by two friends. Very - very pleased with the ride comfort and quiet ride, two areas I have premium requirements

wierd ride characteristics

Only about 2500 mi on tires (225/65/17 on Dodge Caravan).  Quiet, with only a slight tread hum on smooth asphalt.  Terrific wet & dry traction.  Track straight & true, no wandering, no balance problems.  At mfr recommended 36 PSI they are very harsh riding.  Reduce that about 3 PSI and they become a different tire.  At 33 PSI I can't tell any difference in handling, just harshness.  Remains to be seen whether they can be run at the lower pressure without wearing down the outside edges.

great tires

Great tires. Use the snows by general also. Have gotten 60k plus out of the tires. Good even wear but i do rotate every 8k. Have used them in snow about 8/9 inch storm did good. Good corner grip and average noise from the tires, good fuel mileage numbers from them. I am happy enough to by another set in the spring when the snow tires come off.

Smoooooth!

Absolutely perfect tires if smoothness and quiet are important to you.  Size 225 50R 18.  Astonishing upgrade from Goodyear Eagles they replaced.  Completely smooth and quiet and improved what was already an excellent ride which I didn't think was possible.

Impressive treadware without performance sacrifice

Great tires! Had for over 60k miles on a CRV (anyone who knows these vehicles knows they are hard on tires) and currently about 12k miles in on my 06 Civic. Great in all conditions without sacrificing on tread life. I classify this tire as underrated!

Great wear and ride on my 2009 Tacoma

When I replaced my original tires I went  with fancy Yokohoma tires. Much more expensive than these tires and they wore out fast. I put these RT43's on and they hold the road, work great in the rain and have these wear strips that warn you about uneven wear. I put them on my Sienna too. They performed great in the snow too.
