AltiMAX RT43 All-Season Radial Tire (225/60R16)
Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team
Why we picked it
75,000-mile treadwear warranty
General AltiMAX RT43 is the budget all-season that r/Cars and r/Tires recommend when premium brands are out of budget. 75,000-mile treadwear warranty at roughly two-thirds the price of Michelin. The Twin Cushion Silica compound and Anti-Slip Sipe Design deliver real wet-grip performance, and the Replacement Tire Monitor (visual tread-depth indicator) tells you when to swap. Owned by Continental — General Tire uses the same compounds and factories as the more-expensive Continental TrueContact. The value play.
