The General AltiMAX RT45 215/55R16 is an all-season tire, designed for sedan, coupe, and CUV drivers who prioritize balanced performance and long-term value in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on delivering reliable wet and dry traction while maintaining comfort and extended wear life.
