Rating 4.5

After one week of ownership I purchased a new set of General Altimax rt43's (replaced the OEM Conti's) that are rated V, max 149 mph. They have worn like iron, have great grip and are very quiet, even after 20k miles.

Pros: worn like iron, great grip, very quiet
Mileage: 20000 km

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I've been happy with General Altimax RT43 tires on my previous cars, good balance of quality and price for an all around tire.

Pros: good quality and price

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I've been running general g max as-05s and been pleasantly surprised with their performance. Nothing close to the 200 treadwear summers I've run, but decent for an all season.

Pros: decent for all season
Cons: not close to summers

Continental Tires

Continental PureContact LS are probably the best performance all season. They have a 60k mile tread life, perform very well on dry and wet road, but they are a bit on the pricier side.

Pros: perform well on road
Cons: a bit pricier side

Continental Tires

I did this ride the opposite direction in 2019 in late Summer. It is probably doable on 25mm. I did the ride on 28mm tires, continental grand prix (so barely any tread). The dirt sections are very hard packed gravel and I didn't have any issues even on muddier sections.

Pros: no issues

I've had good luck with Conti Pro Contacts in the past and am currently running the Conti Pure Contact. Also had a good experience with Pirelli P7 on a past vehicle.

Pros: good luck, good experience

They did fine, not a great performing tire but for the price they aren't bad at all.

My biggest gripe was that you can't tell how much life it has left in the rear, since it had a smooth center. I just noticed mine showed cords one day.

Pros: fine for the price
Cons: can't tell life left
