Tire question--> General AltiMAX RT43

Anyone running these? Opinions?

They have plenty of positive reviews if you google them. More than one review compared them favorably to Michelins.

Doesn't look bad spec-wise.

I can vouch for the tires I run: Sumitomo HTR A/S P01

They don't hydroplane, they grip better than the car can ever make use of, and they even do ok in light snow (the only kind we get here). Price should be about the same as the Generals.

I am a bit of a tire snob but I decided to get the best value tire for this car. I wouldn't do it any differently. I normally steer toward Bridgestone tires, picking their RE11 for my brother's Mercedes (rear; fronts are SO4 Pole Position). My cars usually have their Potenza RE730 (and 740 and its successors), and I have used Michelin Pilot Sport (regular and AS) on various other vehicles. After experiencing all those tires, I still wouldn't pick them over the Sumitomos for a Continental.

I probably drive a Continental more "spiritedly" than the vast majority of owners so if I still like 'em, they're good tires

Ok thanks for the input. That's something to consider. The last few cars and trucks I've owned I didn't put much thought into tire noise or comfort. It was more about price or how they did in the snow. Now that I have this Continental I find I am more concerned with tire noise and comfort than when I was buying new tires for my F350. lol
