General Altimax Tires

Founded in Akron, OH in 1915, General is one of the oldest names in American tire manufacturing; today, General offers a wide lineup of light truck tires, commercial tires, performance, passenger, and winter tires. The Altimax family of passenger tires is their flagship line, with a selection of all-season or all-weather tires for sedans, coupes, minivans and crossovers. Altimax tires from General are designed for year-round performance, with the perfect balance of crisp and responsive handling, refined ride quality, stable road manners, and excellent tread wear characteristics. Between the Altimax RT45, the Altimax 365AW, the Altimax G-Max Justice AW, the Exclaim HPX and Altimax Reliatrek, there’s something for the needs and driving style of just about every driver who needs a set of all-season or all-weather tires.

General Altimax RT45

General’s Altimax RT45 is designed as a great jack-of-all-trades tire for sedans, minivans and crossovers; it’s a tire you can count on for long wear, nimble handling, a quiet and refined ride, consistent year-round grip and road manners that are composed and stable. The Altimax RT45 features a symmetric all-season tread design with a system of circumferential and angled grooves to divert water from the tire’s contact patch and resist hydroplaning in wet weather. Reinforced shoulders with slotted grooves enhance cornering ability, and a solid center rib gives the Altimax RT45 good straight-line stability along with quick and accurate steering response. The tread pitch of the Altimax RT45 is randomized and computer tuned to keep road noise to a minimum, for a ride that’s sedate and civilized.

Like other tires in the Altimax family, the Altimax RT45 features General’s Visual Alignment Indicators to alert a driver to any wheel alignment issues that could cause premature, uneven tread wear. The Replacement Tire Monitor features is molded into the tread, reminding a driver as to when a tire has reached minimum tread depth and will need to be replaced. General covers the Altimax RT45 with a best-in-class 75,000 mile limited manufacturer’s tread depth warranty. Depending on tire size, the Altimax RT45 is available with black or outlined white letter sidewall. The Altimax RT45 from General is a great fit for vehicles like the Buick Encore, Dodge Grand Caravan, Ford Focus, Hyundai Kona and Kia Seltos.

General Altimax 365AW

So what does the General Altimax 365AW bring to the table? The Altimax 365AW is designed as an all-weather tire, and all-weather tires are designed for enhanced traction and performance in winter conditions, the kind of winter weather where most all-season tires will fall short of being able to get the job done. The Altimax 365AW delivers confident grip and braking performance in deeper snow, with an aggressive all-weather tread pattern with staggered tread blocks and a dense network of sipes to multiply the tread’s surface area and traction with hundreds of extra biting edges that slice through snow and slush. The Altimax 365AW has the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake certification for severe winter service, ensuring that you can count on this tire for confident year-round performance. Like many other tires in the Altimax family, the Altimax 365AW has General’s innovative Visual Alignment Indicators molded into the tread, giving a driver an early heads-up to any alignment problems that would cause uneven tire wear. General covers the Altimax 365AW with a 60,000 mile limited manufacturer’s tread life warranty. The General Altimax 365AW is a great fit for vehicles like the Chevy Equinox, Buick Envision, Ford Escape and Honda CR-V.

General Altimax Arctic 12

Winter weather isn’t going to stop the General Altimax Arctic 12; this tire is designed to get you through the worst snow and slush with ease, the kind of weather where other tires are just not going to be capable. The Altimax Arctic 12 starts out with a specialized winter tread compound that stays flexible at subfreezing temperatures, the kind of cold where other tires will stiffen up and lose traction. Its directional winter tread features a dense network of sipes to aid in winter traction by adding hundreds of thin, biting edges to dig in and claw through snow and slush, with sweeping grooves and angled grooves that evacuate water from the tire’s contact patch to resist hydroplaning. The Altimax Arctic 12 is pre-drilled to make it easy for a tire tech to install studs in case of icy conditions (remember to check your local and state laws for legality of studded tires, including calendar restrictions). General covers the Altimax Arctic 12 with a 72 month treadwear warranty and 45 day free trial period. The Altimax Arctic 12 is a good fit for vehicles like the Ford Edge, Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Pilot, and Hyundai Santa Fe Sport.
