Awesome Tires

These tires on my old Honda worked excellent especially in the wet weather, I'm usually worried in my little car, these tires were seriously excellent, worth the price and a great price point.

Great all around tires.

It's too bad they have been discontinued. Thank Good for Simple Tire, as I needed one after an unexpected flat. Otherwise, with all wheel vehicle, I'd have had to purchase four new ones.

Best All Season ever incl. Heavy vehicles

This is my second set of the RT43 on a 2nd vehicle for a 2nd vehicle. Both sets are showing good wear resistance & I bought them as they're highly rated by Consumer Reports. Positives: Great handling on dry roads. Good handling on wet roads & we have a lot of rain in Florida for 5 months of the year. Exceptional wear & durability because they have two steel belts - very good for our heavier vehicle a 2014 Honda Odessey (size 205/60R 16 in diameter) & also on a lighter small SUV from Nissan (size 195 /60R 15) similar to the Nissan Rogue LIMITED TREADWEAR WARRANTY that's pro-rated up to 75,000 Miles from General Tire - means you get a refund if they don't last but you have to prove you serviced & rotated the tires. Made in the USA employing Americans! Negatives: Because of the 2nd steel belt they are not the quietest of All Seasons but I prefer the trade off for their long life. Just turn up the radio if it bothers you! They are T rated up to 118 mph but have an A rating for traction & A or B for temperature rating. Not recommended for sports cars or speed freaks.

Good Tire Overall

This is the second set of these tires I have had on my Honda CRV. Bought these tires based on strong reviews on Tire Rack by professional drivers. Excellent wet road performance and very good overall performance. My experience in light snow has been ok but not great. Got about 40,000 miles out of last set. I only drive this vehicle about 10-12,000 miles annually so the tires get hard and perform poorly on wet roads before the tread actually wears out. I am happy with these tires. Watch out for the hidden $20 handling fee added on by simple tire at checkout.

Get technical:

The AltiMax RT43 is an all season tire that's designed to give drivers year round traction and comfort along with an up to 75,000 mile limited tread life warranty.



Features & Benefits

  • All-season tread
  • Outline White Letter or Black sidewall depending on the tire's size
  • 75,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty for T-rated sizes, and 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty for H- and V-rated sizes.

Taking the kids to school and heading to work is a staple for many drivers, and the AltiMax RT43 from General Tire is designed with those drivers in mind. Featuring an all season tread design, the AltiMax RT43 provides year round traction and comfort so that drivers receive consistent performance on dry, wet, and snowy roads. A built in Replacement Tire Monitor tells drivers when it's time for new tires by saying "replace tire" on the tread. The AltiMax RT43 also puts more rubber on the road to not only increase traction, but to give the tire a longer lifespan so that drivers can spend more time on the road.

Have a question about General Altimax RT43 tires?

No, General Altimax RT43 tires are not directional. The Altimax RT43 utilizes a symmetrical tread pattern, and the tire can be rotated to any position of your vehicle.

Yes, you can use General Altimax RT43 tires in light snow thanks to the tire's all-season tread pattern and M+S rating. The Altimax RT43 is not Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, so it should not be used in severe winter weather conditions.
