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.
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.
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.
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.
We got a 24' CT Sport. Came with Falken Z1E ZE001A A/S tires. They are great in the summer but didn't like them for the winter. So we got the Falken Wild Peak AT tires. So far they are great.
I have experience with these tires. I have them on my 2017 mercedes c300 currently in nh. we get a lot of snow and ice and snow rain mix, and they work great for that! this is my 2nd winter with them. I will say this. in dry weather, they do give a little glide while driving. as in you notice you have a different traction tire on made for snow. it makes it not as smooth of a drive. especially for my model car. I have used them for 11k miles, and the tread is still 85%. since having these, I haven't got stuck once, and in the worst of the worst, I drove on highway and was able to drive safely in my lane without sliding, doing about 48mph on the highway. we just had 6 storms with over 3 inches each storm, in the last 2 weeks, and I was good to go in all of them. worth every bit of what I paid. they are best suited for heavy snow and ice and help break up the ice underneath you as you drive. if you live where you get a lit of snow ❄️, I would highly recommend them. hope this helps. stay safe.
Mine are finished and I've driven them exactly 30k miles.. I've regularly had them rotated, and I kept them inflated as required. Their warranty is pure BS (as any sign of uneven ware voids it). They're decent tires, you just need to know what you're getting before you pull the trigger.
That’s very interesting. My limited trim came with the falken tire which is even worse. It’s gone at 22k. Yokohama in my experience is pretty good
