They hve been nothing short of amazing. Living in the Adirondacks, I deal with all kinds of weather, and these tires have handled it all-snow, slush, rain-you name it. They are quiet, they wear well and they grip the road like nobody’s business. I’m so impressed that I put them on both my vehicles. 

No matter the season, they just keep performing. I wouldnt hesitate to buy them again when the time comes.

I’ve had these Altimax tires on my 7 Mazda6 for a couple of months and its been a rough experience. I’ve had two blowouts on two different rims and its just been frustrating. 

Sure, theyre comfortable and handle well in dry weather, but the reliability just isnt there. Im really disappointed because I’ve always liked general tire but I wont be buying these again. 

Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.
