Great tires. Put them on my car and my daughter's.
We both have Ford escapes. Gave then high marks on all categories. As far as Simpletire, I have bought 4 sets over the last few years. Always great service, I have received them at home and also had them delivered to a shop. Both processes were seamless.
Great company. Also had a rebate on one set and that worked out great.

Great little tires so far. Much smoother ride and quieter than the Michelin Defenders that I replaced. Don't know about tread life on these tires yet, but the Michelins were rated for 90,000 miles wear and the set I had on did not even last 42,000 miles!! Hoping for more with the Generals!!

I havn't driven in the snow yet so cant rate that!
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.
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.
Yes, General Altimax RT43 tires are a great choice for drivers of coupes, sedans, CUVs, SUVs, and minivans that want excellent traction and performance year-round and a long tread life.
General Altimax RT43 tires might be made in Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Portugal, or the United States.
Yes, General Altimax RT43 tires are mud and snow rated and feature the industry's M+S symbol on the sidewall.
General Altimax RT43 tires are currently made by Continental, their parent company. A German company, Continental is one of the World's leading tire manufacturers.

General Altimax RT43 tires are backed by a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty for H- and V-rated sizes, and a 75,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty for T-rated sizes. This means that the Altimax RT43 should be able to last for at least 60,000 miles, depending on speed rating, if they're properly maintained, rotated, and used.
