Description

General's Altimax RT43 is a tire built for drivers of coupes, sedans, minivans and crossovers who want increased traction and handling in all seasons, a more comfortable ride and extended tread life. 

Enhanced construction has given General Tire's new all-season touring tire, the AltiMAX RT43, a quiet and comfortable ride, year-round traction, even wear, and extended tread life. 

Replacement Tire Monitor Technology: Unique stamp that visually indicates the need for tire replacement by changing from "Replacement Tire Monitor" to "Replace Tire" based on tread wear.  

Visual Alignment Indicators (VAI): Extends the life of the tire by visually identifying vehicle misalignment. 

Peak Anti-Slip Sipe Design Technology (PASDT): Increases the number of biting edges for traction on slippery roads.  

Low Surface Abrasion Technology (LSAT): Construction that reduces tread distortion as the tire rolls, resulting in less surface abrasion and promoting even treadwear and extended tread life.  

Acoustic Modulation Sound Technology (AMST): Sound wave suppression technology that works to reduce road tire noise for a quiet ride.  

Twin Cushion Silica Tread Compound: High and low-density tread delivers extraordinary ride comfort.  

Reactive Contour Technology: Smart contour reacts to differing road conditions to maintain contact with the road surface for increased driving confidence

I had a good experience with PMC tires! I got 4 pretty new General Tires (Altimax RT 45) and figured out they are the official retailer for General Tires and Continental, so in case sth happens, they will honour the warranty!

Phenomenal customer service, Don't think twice about ordering from PMC Tires, The Quality, delivery the ordering process and follow-up is all "Top Notch" no need to leave your home shopping for tires and rims, Do it online through PMC, you shop with confidence. And if a problem should arise which happened to me, they get 5 stars for customers service they resolved it quick and made themselves available for questions and answers. Can't say enough about how positive the experience has been with PMC. I am looking forward to my next purchase with them. Shout out to Val Noel, in customer service for the excellent service.

Great service again with my recent purchase (summer wheels and tires for my car). Haven’t mounted yet but packaging for shipping was great as is the quality of mounting/balancing. Looking forward to installing them when the weather improves!

Great experience! Ordered a package mounted and balanced with new tpms sensors. Sensors synched right away. Few minor defects on the back of the wheel noted when I unpackaged them. Sent an email to customer service. They were responsive and easy to reach a reasonable solution.

I ordered a set of rims for my car. PMC offered a good selection at good prices. A lot better than anywhere locally for me. One of the rims arrived without the centre cap, and when I contacted you about it, a new cap was sent out quickly. The rims look great and I am very happy with the great customer service.
