General Altimax RT43 Features
This is a General Altimax that's built to prove that confidence and comfort are interrelated terms when it comes to all-season tires.
The "RT" in RT43 stands for "road touring," and General knows that there are many road surfaces you'll encounter over the life of your tires. It also knows that you'll want to handle them without ever having to doubt your tires —while minimizing noise, vibration and harshness via its touring-oriented design.
To do this, General packed in features on the Altimax RT43 while staying aware of the importance of maintaining the affordability of this all-season dynamo.
Other performance features of the General Altimax RT43 include:
- To provide lasting treadwear and extend overall life of the tire, General's Low Surface Abrasion Technology is embedded into the tread pattern.
- Never doubt how far you can go with visual Replacement Tire Monitors.
- General's Peak Anti-Slip Design Technology provides planted grip in all conditions.
- Visual Alignment Indicators can show you whether your vehicle is out of alignment.
General Altimax RT43 Treadwear and Warranty
What makes the RT43 such a mainstay in the all-season tire segment?
While it's loaded with design elements that give it lasting value in terms of safety, comfort and overall driving dynamics, General has also built the Altimax RT 43 to last.
That's why General covers the RT43 with a 75,000-mile manufacturer warranty—one of the longest in the industry for all-season tires for cars and crossovers.
But here's the thing. You can extend General's warranty coverage of the RT43 with our own Certificates, which will protect your set of General Altimax RT43 tires in the event they fail for any reason, including impacts from road hazards such as nails or potholes.
(You can add our Certificate coverage in the cart of your order.)
If you're looking for a solid all-season tire at an affordable price point, the General Altimax RT43 is here to prove that you can have it all without breaking the bank.
