Tires Falken or GENERAL TIRE

Get general Altimax if you’re looking for good value

I just replaced my General Altimax 43s with Hankooks and I miss them. The General's were pretty decent in the snow and I had better gas mileage than I have now with the Hankooks. The only downside was they only lasted about 60,000 miles.

I have the General Altimax on my 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S, and they are always surprised to hear I have been about 60k miles on them and the tread is still viable to pass inspection etc.

I've got the Generals on my Jetta GLI. I had higher performance tires but kept getting bubbles on the awful New England roads. I'm pretty happy with them. You definitely give up a little bit of grip/road feel on dry roads but they're comfortable for daily driving and the value factor is nice. If you're looking for something that's going to suit you on a day-to-day or commuter type basis I'd recommend them.

I drive a Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and ran a set of General AltiMAX RT43s to 64,000 miles (3/32” remaining tread). Replaced with RT45s a year ago (13k miles) and they still look new.

Honestly? I've got nothing against Pirelli tires, but the Generals are would be my go to here... They are a better quality tires than those specific Pirellis... Ride better, be quieter, last longer...

i trash mine, and i’ve never had one go flat. last time i had my truck serviced they pulled 9 nails out of my Falkens & they were all still holding pressure (i work in construction). obviously i replaced them all but the fact they were holding air still made me just buy another set.

If you go off road occasionally, and in the snow at all, the falken wildpeak AT is the way to go.

Lol...same story here. I realized I've bought and mounted AT3WA instead of AT3W only few weeks later, as I could not believe those on pictures looked so different. These DOT aprovals for Europe are needed and US based tire companies simply do not apply for those since they have large enough market in US and Down under.

Honestly I was quite satisfied with AT3WA on road, wet and snowy, but they look so sissy I got rid of them.

I don't like the Falken Ziex that comes with the 17 inch wheel.
