The General AltiMAX RT45 225/45R17 is an all-season grand touring 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 durability across varied conditions.
The tire features a symmetric tread pattern with interlocking tread blocks for stable handling, complemented by four circumferential grooves that channel water away for hydroplaning resistance. Lateral voids, shoulder slots, and sipes create additional biting edges for improved grip in light snow and wet conditions. Notable technologies include Visual Alignment Indicators (VAI) that wear evenly to show proper alignment, and a Replacement Tire Monitor (RTM) to help drivers track tread life. Driver feedback points to strong wet and dry performance with notable comfort and predictable handling characteristics.
Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for passenger vehicles used primarily for daily driving and highway travel in mixed seasonal conditions.

TirePath Editorial Review
"We recommend this for daily commuters who need reliable all-season grip and long tread life at a reasonable price point. Performance in deep snow conditions remains limited compared to dedicated winter tires."
