About the General AltiMAX RT43

Reliable Miles, Every Season, Every Road

Best forDaily commuters and family drivers seeking year-round traction and long tread life in sedans, coupes, CUVs, SUVs, and minivans.

The General AltiMAX RT43 is an all-season passenger tire built for everyday drivers who need dependable year-round performance. Whether navigating wet commutes, dry highways, or light winter conditions, this tire delivers consistent traction and a comfortable ride for sedans, coupes, CUVs, SUVs, and minivans. A generous tread life warranty makes it a practical long-term choice.

The AltiMAX RT43 uses a symmetrical tread pattern that allows rotation to any wheel position, simplifying maintenance. An increased contact patch puts more rubber in contact with the road, boosting grip and extending wear life. A built-in tread wear indicator spells out a replacement prompt directly on the tire surface, taking the guesswork out of knowing when it's time for new rubber. The tire carries an M+S rating for light mud and snow use.

Questions about this tire

Is the AltiMAX RT43 a directional tire?

No, the AltiMAX RT43 uses a symmetrical, non-directional tread pattern. This means it can be mounted in any position and rotated freely across all four corners of your vehicle, which simplifies routine tire maintenance.

Can the AltiMAX RT43 handle snow and winter conditions?

The AltiMAX RT43 is M+S rated and can manage light snow and cold-weather driving. However, it is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, so it is not intended for severe winter conditions such as heavy snowfall or significant ice. Drivers in regions with harsh winters should consider a dedicated winter tire for those months.

What is the tread life warranty on the AltiMAX RT43?

The manufacturer backs T-rated sizes with a 75,000-mile limited tread life warranty, while H- and V-rated sizes are covered for 60,000 miles. Actual longevity depends on proper inflation, regular rotation, and driving habits.

What vehicles is the AltiMAX RT43 a good fit for?

This tire is well-suited for passenger cars including sedans and coupes, as well as minivans, CUVs, and SUVs. It's designed for drivers who prioritize a comfortable everyday ride, consistent all-season grip, and long-term value.

Who manufactures the General AltiMAX RT43?

General Tire produces the AltiMAX RT43, and the brand operates under Continental AG, a globally recognized German tire and automotive technology company. Depending on the specific size, these tires may be manufactured in the United States, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, or Portugal.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
