The General AltiMAX RT45 235/55R18 is an all-season touring tire, designed for sedan, coupe, and crossover drivers who prioritize balanced performance and long-term value in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on delivering reliable traction across wet and dry conditions while maintaining comfort and durability.
The tire features a symmetric tread pattern with robust interlocking tread blocks for stable handling, supported by four circumferential grooves that evacuate water for hydroplaning resistance. Lateral voids, shoulder slots, and sipes create additional biting edges for improved traction in light snow conditions. Notable technologies include Visual Alignment Indicators (VAI) that wear evenly to signal proper alignment, and a Replacement Tire Monitor (RTM) to help drivers track tread wear. Driver feedback points to strong wet and dry performance, with comfort and consistent response standing out in daily use.
Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for sedans, coupes, and crossovers used primarily for daily driving and highway travel in varied weather conditions.
