I had the RT43s on our old Civic because they were rated really well in the rain (they were great) and they Lasted somewhere around 110k kms. They still had tread at this point but we're almost to the wear bars and we're getting noisy so I replaced them.
These days I prefer the Cooper Discoverer Enduramax. Sturdier construction for rough roads, better in rain and snow in my experience, and bit nicer ride. They’re stiff enough for good handling but still absorb bumps well. At first they were a bit noisy on rougher surfaced roads, but certainty not obnoxiously so. Seemed to get quieter after some wear. Fuel economy stayed the same as the OEM tires but much better traction.
I just put General Grabber QT/X and the best truck tires and I live in the middle of the snow belt.
Put on a set of general altimax rt45 on our 23 mY LR awd and couldn't be happier.
I just put 4 255/45R19's Cooper pro controls on my 2015 ford taurus limited. I live in Wisconsin and it's winter so I got to test them in the snow. Not bad for all seasons. I've driven with Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires and they're for sure not at that level but good enough grip, I felt confident ish in deep snow.
Wow, someone else asking about the General Altimax. the answer is YES! they are an excellent brand for the value. I have a 2002 Mercedes S500. They are wonderful tires and held up better than the Michelin or Goodyears. Excellent wet traction for a rear wheel drive car. I swear by them.
I’ve used General Altimax RT, RT43, and RT45 on several different vehicles (pickup, SUVs, and both FWD and RWD sedans) since 2014,:and I’ve been pleased every time. All of the tires hold balance well, ride and handle well, and generally last quite well.
Had them on my Vibe GT and thought they were an excellent all arounder, especially for the price.
I would take the General all-weather tire over the Toyota in heartbeat... The Celsius II is better than the atrocious OG Celsius but it's still barely better than a Multi-Mile or GT Radial...
i know general makes the altimax rt45 in that size, at least we get that in the states. im not a fan of uniroyals at all, the generals are a better tire across the board
