Thank you , I haven’t considered the general altamax before

Thanks for The info...Best Regards

Michelin, CrossClimate 2… 2018 Honda, Pilot ,AWD, we live in Nebraska, rain, snow & ice, hot. You will not be disappointed. After 35,000 miles in less than 2 years, performed same as new this winter. I expect another 35,000 out of these. Amazing tire!

I’m glad I don’t have the snow and ice to deal with. Michelin is a good tire, for sure. Just kind of pricey. For what the RT45 cost, it’s hard to beat, for how I use them. Appreciate your input!!! ✌️

Super-helpful, thanks from Central KY! Big, big fan of the RT43s. Can't say enough good about them. I have a third set on my wife's Highlander and a second set on my RX300. I ran a set for more than 60K miles on a Camry I no longer own. My son (near Chicago) bought a set a year ago for his CR-V, having driven the Camry in all conditions. So seven sets total for our family. All from TireRack, drop-shipped to my full-service auto tech. It's a little concerning that some reviewers say the new RT45 is a completely different tire and not a direct replacement. Luckily, I won't have to make that call on either car for another 30-40,000 miles.

My wife drives it the most and hasn’t had any complaints. I’ll be monitoring the mileage and wear characteristics over time. I will post updates as we go.

Is funny how people spinning the tires on snow/ice conditions for 10,000 miles, brake hard, accelerate hard, corner hard, have a crossover/suv that weights almost 5000lb and they expect the tires to magically last 100,000 miles.

Tires can only do so much. I have found these to be good for where I live and how I use my vehicles. They have given me good service life. Others mileage may vary. 😂

General tire is part of the German owner Continental Tire Group. They have one of the finest full blown snow tires made, the Altima Arctic.

Good information, thanks for watching and commenting.

ive got 70k on my hankook kinergy st. they should last another 10k on my 2500 lb prius c. the tires were about $80 each. ive been getting 60mpg instead of the advertised 54mpg city. good luck finding a better value

A few things. Total miles and price isn't the best measure of a tire. Handling, water dispersion, snow traction, noise, even wear would be for me. VW ID4 is an electric vehicle and they weigh much more than gas vehicles and wear tires out much much much sooner. I'd also say at 57,000 miles I'd certainly consider those stock tires again, if they did the things I mentioned above well.

They were adequate, but cost more than the RT45’s, and they’re not rated as high as the RT45’s. I hope you watched the comparisons I provided. The RT45’s out perform the Bridgestones. My experience with the RT43 was excellent, and I will be reporting back periodically how these RT45’s perform. The only thing I can say at this point is they are a little noisier than the OEM’s. They also have deeper tread and sipes to disperse the water, so I expected them to be a little noisier. I’m willing to accept a little noise for better wet traction. Time will tell, and I will be reporting back. Thanks for commenting. ✌️

I’ve had two sets of Altimax RT43s on my 2005 Camry and found them to be an overall solid tire. I drive in NYC and got about 38k miles on each set. Their wet and dry traction was excellent. Their snow/ice traction was just okay. Where they underperformed for me was the noise. I now have a Rav4 hybrid that came with Toyo OpenCountry A38s and 39k miles they still have a ton of tread life on them, which is surprising, given these are OEM. These are M&S rated tires, unlike the General Altimax, which should be considered if you live in environments where you get occasional snow. It’s not cold/snowy enough here to justify a winter tire set, but occasionally we’ll get a few inches and I’ve found M&S rated tires to perform considerably better in that than non-rated ones.

They are noisier than the OEM tires but, like I said in the video, that doesn’t bother me generally. Thanks for sharing your experience. ✌️

The atmosphere is made up of 78+ percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen. Find it difficult to believe the average person needs more nitrogen. 😏

Very rarely could I recommend adding it to your tires.

In the USA. The rest of the world is disregarded.
