We are going with General Altimax RT45s on our 2025 Model 3 LR RWD. Grand touring, 700 A A, XL load. Well rated. Good price.
Pros: well rated, good price
We replaced the OEM Firestones with a set of General AltiMAX RT45 all-seasons and they have been fantastic so far on our 2019. Quieter than the Firestones and excellent in both dry and wet.
Pros: quieter than Firestones, excellent in dry and wet
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
General Altimax 365AW are the best bang for the buck in my opinion. Great snow performance (WI checking in here).
Pros: great snow performance
I run the same General tires. Before that, it was the RT43. Yes, the are not performance tires. What I have experienced is they get better mileage, and last a long time.
Pros: better mileage, last long
Cons: not performance tires
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
I got the Altimaxes on my older Escape, and have been very happy with them. Quieter and better handling than the Coopers they replaced.
Pros: Quieter, better handling
Vehicle:
Ford Escape
By comparison to the Continental Pure Contacts, the General RT45s:
\u2705 Cornering feels tighter and faster
\u2705 Traction seems about equal
\u274c Do not feel as \"supple\". Slightly harsher when going over rough pavement
\u274c Do not seem to coast as long
\u274c Slightly noisier
Pros: Cornering feels tighter, faster
Cons: Slightly harsher, slightly noisier
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
I have had excellent luck with General Altimax Arctic and Nokian Nordman winter tires.
Pros: excellent luck
I like my General Grabbers personally but I do about 5% off roading in CO on difficult trails. Got a full 48k miles off the last pair and I do a lot of road driving too so was impressed
Pros: impressed, 48k miles
Mileage: 77247 km
Look at maybe Nexen or General for a cheaper alternative that is more reliable.
Pros: cheaper, more reliable
