General Altimax RT43 Latest Reviews
What is good?
I'm at 45,000 miles, 3+ years. I will get another year out of them, and, by that point, the tread will not yet be at the unsafe level. I feel 60,000 miles on tires advertised as "up to 75k" is a good number, especially on a heavy vehicle like I am using - a 2010 Honda Odyssey, family of 6, with occasional fully-loaded, 300 mile trips.
What is bad?
Not the best in snow, but, what all weather tires are?
What is good?
I find these tires great. The ride is smooth and quiet. They perform well in wet and snow conditions. I'm not sure about the treadwear because I've had them only several months.
What is good?
They balanced well and had a fantastic traction in the wet! In the dry they grip well too. You will be pleased with the traction if you live in the rain area.
What is bad?
These tires are dangerous! Only for dry pavement! Awful hydroplaning!
What is bad?
Bad treadwear, I have got only 30,000 instead of advertised 75,000.
