Had them on my Vibe GT and thought they were an excellent all arounder, especially for the price.
Pros: excellent all arounder

Had probably 4 sets of RT43 on different cars. One set went 70,000 miles. Bought them because we get a decent amount of snow here but marginally need snow tires so these are very good in snow and great at everything else with a good price.
High performer with good price makes these a good value buy.
Pros: very good in snow
Mileage: 112654 km
I love them. Have 20,000 miles on mine and 9/32 left. Siping still looks practically new.
Have driven on highway in ongoing snow. Took it slower but absolutely fine. Have driven in pouring rain, absolutely fine. And my mpg went up.
Pros: mpg went up, fine in rain
Mileage: 32186 km
I've always bought Michelin tires. My last set were Michelin Defenders. The belts in one tire began to separate and as a result the ride became a little wobbly so I had to replace them. Also, they were all getting worn quite a bit. I decided to give General AltiMAX RT45 tires a try. A friend had them years ago and was happy with them. I've had them a month now and the ride quality, noise level and handling all all just as good as the Michelins. Time will tell if they remain this way.
Pros: ride quality as good
Cons: time will tell
I have had excellent results with General Altimax tires, absolutely excellent. I’ve used them on five different vehicles (pickup, two SUVs, and two sedans - one RWD, one FWD) since 2014. I currently have a set of RT45s on one of our current vehicles (SUV), and they’re just as good as can be.
Pros: excellent results, absolutely excellent
They are correct, get the Generals! I have a 2002 Mercedes S500 and they are wonderful all season tires. Hold tight around corners at highway speeds and they do well for a rear wheel drive in the rain. I've had the Michelins and Goodyears and the General Altimax are amazing tires and they are a great value for what they are.
Pros: wonderful all season tires
Vehicle:
Mercedes
But the GT ones are by far and away the very best I've had. They're very quiet, have a low rolling resistance, so great for EVs, and the handling in snow is incredible! It's almost like there is no snow even when riding on it.
Pros: very quiet, low resistance
I also have a Corolla, had some General Altimax 365AWs put on at Walmart for around 120 a tire and they have held up very well in the Massachusetts snow.
Pros: held up well in snow
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Mid range brands that are decent but relatively cheap are General and Cooper.
Pros: decent, relatively cheap
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I bought tires for my model 3. They only lasted me 20K with normal driving. They didn’t handle well in dry condition too. One of the worst tires I bought.
Cons: didn’t handle well, lasted 20K
Mileage: 20000 km
