About the General AmeriTrac

Truck-tough traction with a passenger-car ride.

Best forLight truck and SUV drivers seeking a comfortable, quiet all-season tire capable of handling everyday commuting, wet roads, and occasional mud or light snow.

The General AmeriTrac is an all-season light truck tire built to deliver the smooth, composed ride you'd expect from a passenger tire while handling the demands of a pickup or SUV. Carrying an M+S rating, it provides year-round capability on dry pavement, wet roads, and light winter conditions, making it a practical everyday choice for light truck owners.

The AmeriTrac uses a symmetrical tread pattern with wide circumferential grooves and open shoulder blocks that channel water away efficiently, reducing hydroplaning risk on wet surfaces. Angled tread blocks combined with additional sipes improve grip across varying road conditions. Built-in noise reduction technology keeps the cabin noticeably quieter than many truck tires in this class. The tire carries General's 72-month limited warranty.

Questions about this tire

Is the General AmeriTrac a true all-season tire for light trucks?

Yes. The AmeriTrac is designed specifically as an all-season light truck tire, with a tread compound and groove layout suited for dry, wet, and light wintry conditions throughout the year. It carries an M+S rating, which confirms it meets industry standards for mud and snow traction. Keep in mind it is not Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake certified, so for severe winter conditions, a dedicated winter tire will offer greater capability.

How noisy is the AmeriTrac compared to other light truck tires?

General engineered the AmeriTrac with noise reduction technology specifically to address the road noise that many truck tires generate. Drivers can expect a noticeably quieter and more comfortable ride than typical light truck tires in this segment. It's designed to feel closer to a passenger car tire in terms of cabin refinement.

What warranty comes with the General AmeriTrac?

The AmeriTrac is covered under General's Limited Warranty and Adjustment Policy for a maximum of 72 months from the original date of purchase. For full details on coverage terms and conditions, consult General's official warranty documentation.

Who manufactures General AmeriTrac tires?

General Tire has been part of Continental AG since 1987, so AmeriTrac tires are produced within Continental's global manufacturing network. Production locations can include facilities in Europe as well as plants in several U.S. states, depending on the specific size and production run.

Can the AmeriTrac handle mud and snow driving?

The AmeriTrac's M+S rating means it meets the industry benchmark for mud and snow traction, and its angled tread blocks with sipes help bite into loose or slippery surfaces. It performs well in light to moderate winter conditions and muddy terrain. For deep snow, ice, or severe off-road use, a more specialized tire would be a better fit.

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.
