Review on AltiMAX RT43 Radial Tire - 215/55R17 94T by General by Ricky Snyder

3 year UPDATE: I've put almost 40,000 miles on these tires and still have a couple of 32 inches over the wear indicators. I'm a "keen" rider so happy with the durability. I will probably buy another set next year. They appear to be just as good as the Michelins they replaced in terms of handling, wet grip and snow handling. The mileage guarantee is better and they are much cheaper. This is the third set of Altimax tires I have purchased for all three vehicles. The rest are 2 years old and still look new so I expect them to last a long time. The only odd thing is that every 3 sets on very slick/new pavement makes an odd rumble, especially when wet. I can't hear it over the noise of ordinary old asphalt or concrete. It sounds like a camp whistle and scared the shit out of me the first time I heard it - made me think my gear had started to work! All 3 cars do this now so I'm pretty sure it's the Altimax tread pattern. It's pretty quiet, my wife didn't notice it until I pointed it out to him. I work on my own cars, so I hear strange new noises more than the average driver. Overall I like these tires and think the great grip is worth the low noise.
