Vorteile, Nachteile & Beobachtungen

Themen aus Besitzerbewertungen bei Händlern und Bewertungsportalen — nicht die Meinung von TireWheelGuide.

Reifen A General AltiMAX RT43

The General Altimax RT43 is widely regarded as a high-value, versatile all-season touring tire that excels in providing a comfortable, quiet ride and reliable traction across varied weather conditions. While the vast majority of users praise its longevity and performance-to-price ratio, a small subset of reviewers report inconsistent manufacturing quality, such as balancing issues or premature sidewall failure.

Vorteile

  • Exceptional value for the price point compared to premium brands.
  • Strong wet and light-to-moderate snow traction.
  • Quiet and comfortable ride quality.
  • Impressive tread life and durability, even on gravel roads.

Nachteile

  • Occasional reports of balancing difficulties and vibration issues.
  • Some users noted a decline in snow performance as the tread wears down.
  • Isolated reports of sidewall failures or premature tread separation.
  • Softer sidewalls can lead to a less responsive feel during aggressive cornering.

Beobachtungen

  • Owners of minivans and SUVs (e.g., Sienna, Odyssey, RAV4) frequently report significant improvements in ride comfort and noise reduction over OEM tires.
  • Subaru owners noted the tire handles well in varied terrain, though some performance-oriented drivers find the sidewalls too soft for spirited driving.
  • Users with high-mileage commutes appreciate the tire's longevity, though some noted a slight decrease in fuel efficiency compared to dedicated low-rolling-resistance tires.
Reifen B Michelin CrossClimate+

The Michelin CrossClimate+ is widely regarded as a benchmark all-season tire, praised for its exceptional versatility and ability to bridge the gap between summer handling and winter safety. While most users report high levels of confidence in wet, dry, and snowy conditions, a minority of users note a decline in performance as the tread wears down or express dissatisfaction with noise levels and ride harshness on specific vehicle setups.

Vorteile

  • Excellent traction and confidence in light to moderate snow and ice.
  • Strong wet and dry road handling that rivals dedicated summer tires.
  • Impressive tread longevity and durability over high mileage.
  • Quiet and comfortable ride quality for the majority of users.
  • Consistent performance across a wide range of temperatures.

Nachteile

  • Performance in wet conditions can diminish significantly as the tire wears.
  • Increased road noise reported by some users compared to dedicated summer tires.
  • Occasional reports of a harsh or 'bouncy' ride on certain vehicle suspensions.
  • Higher price point compared to competitors.
  • Some users report a 'spongy' or less precise steering feel during aggressive cornering.

Beobachtungen

  • Users with heavier diesel vehicles or high-torque setups occasionally report faster tread wear and increased road noise.
  • Drivers of lighter vehicles (e.g., small hatchbacks) often report improved steering responsiveness and comfort compared to OEM tires.
  • Performance on SUVs and 4x4s is frequently cited as a major upgrade over standard summer tires, particularly for winter mountain driving.

Reifen A

General AltiMAX RT43

Positiv

The General Altimax RT43 is widely praised by the community as an exceptional value-for-money all-season touring tire, often compared favorably to more expensive premium brands like Michelin. Users frequently highlight its strong wet-weather performance, solid tread life, and affordability, though some note it can become slightly noisier as it wears down.

“Replacement tires I have about 25k miles on my original tires (LR AWD, 18” Aeros) and evening though I have rotated then every 6-7000, I am not going to make it past 30k. So, anyone have any recommendations for replacements? Should I go for the standard Michelin’s? Anyone used anything else? For the record, Ian not concerned with the foam and road noise is fine. I’d like something less expensive, longer wearing, or both, without sacrificing much in the way of performance. For my usage, wet weather handling is more important than high performance. I drive it hard occasionally, but I am most concerned with how it performs on day-to-day commute and driving. (70 mile commute, round trip, 3-days/week). Thanks. Edit: thanks for the info everyone. I talked to my local tire guy and he recommended General Altimax RT43s. He also said the sound dampening foam is mostly a gimmick (which is what I suspected). He quoted me $198 (his prices include EVERYTHING). I could get them from Tire Rack for $152 and local install for $30 + 3 (disposal) which would save me a mere $13 per tire. But based on past experience with this tire shop, it is easily worth the extra $13 for convenience and peace of mind if I need flat repair or warranty claims. Related to that, he said the RT43 is a 60k tire but I should only expect 40-50 on my Model 3 and at best a $15 credit per tire. Frankly, I’d be happy with 40k. Probably going to keep the current rubber for another month, then get the Generals.”

“Anyone running General RT45? Looking to replace the shitastic Toyo A36 on my 2023 PP that I just picked up. Was going to try to make them last until fall, but having picked a screw in one, im probably going to bite the bullet and change them now. I ran the RT43 on both my NA Miata as well as my 5-GT and was happy with them. Tire Rack is running a $140 rebate on a set of 4 right now. Just curious as to people's thoughts. Or, should I just bite the bullet and go with Continental Cross Contacts? Read more”

“I have general grabbers on my vanagon and they just don’t wear. I had rt43s on a Tiguan before and they had 4/32nds left at around 60k miles”

“I had great luck with 2 sets of the RT43s years back. The only my comment was they were a little less grippy than other tires for high G lateral forces. IE taking curves WAY above intelligent speeds. Otherwise, they were sure footed in any other situation. Including incliment weather.”

Wie vergleichen wir Reifen?

Jeder Kategorie-Score kombiniert zwei unabhängige Signale. 60 % stammen aus professionellen Reifentests (Bremswege, Rundenzeiten, Geräuschmessungen), normiert auf den besten Reifen im jeweiligen Test und mit stärkerer Gewichtung neuerer Tests. 40 % stammen aus Tausenden Besitzerbewertungen von Händlern und Bewertungsportalen. Hat ein Reifen nur eines von beiden, verwenden wir, was vorhanden ist, und weisen darauf hin.

Community-Meinungen aus Reddit und Foren dienen nur als Kontext — sie verändern den Score nie.
