General Altimax RT Review

These all-season tires offer excellent value for the money, according to General Altimax RT (starting at $51, Amazon) reviews at Walmart. Drivers posting General Altimax RT reviews at Treadepot.com are also impressed, commenting on the tires' quiet, soft ride. According to one review, they grip better than any other tire the driver has owned -- even in the rain. In General Altimax RT reviews at Tire Rack, users say the tire performs well in all types of winter driving conditions. However, one user isn't impressed with its performance in slush, and drivers at 1010tires.com say snow and ice aren't its strong points. Otherwise drivers posting General Altimax RT reviews at 1010tires.com give the tire high marks for comfort and quiet and admire how it behaves in wet and dry conditions.

The General Altimax RT has a UTQG rating of 600-A-B (tread wear = 600, traction = A, temperature resistance = B). The manufacturer offers a tread-wear warranty of 70,000 miles. A self-described conservative driver who posted a review on a consumer products testing site says the tires are still going strong after almost 80,000 miles. The speed capacity is rated T, or 118 mph. In addition, this tire comes equipped with special features such as a replacement monitor that indicates when the tire's tread has worn down and a Visual Alignment Indicator to help identify when the tires should be realigned to help extend the tread life.

The General Altimax RT receives high praise from users as an all-season tire that performs exceptionally well on wet and dry pavement, although some users caution that it could do better in winter weather. While this may not be the best all-season option for drivers in regions such as the snowy Northeast, it's an excellent choice for moderate climates and for drivers who switch to snow tires during the winter.
