The AltiMAX RT (Road Touring) is General Tire's Standard Touring All-Season tire member of their Altimax family of flagship tires. The AltiMAX RT was developed to address the many challenges faced by today’s coupe, sedan, van, crossover and SUV drivers. The AltiMAX RT is designed to combine reliability, comfort and tread life, as well as provide year-round traction, even in light snow.

The AltiMAX RT features a Twin Cushion Silica Tread Compound that places a high-density all-season top compound for year-round traction and long wear above a low-density foundation compound that absorbs road vibrations to provide a comfortable ride. The tread compound is molded into a symmetric tread design featuring sweeping, high-angle tread grooves that are sized using sound wave suppression to reduce road noise for a quiet ride. Twin steel belts stabilize the tread area for good handling, while a polyester cord body enhances ride quality.

General Tire has designed the AltiMAX RT for a variety of vehicle applications. Due to technical reasons, tire sizes with a section width of 185 and below feature a center groove, while tires sizes with a section width of 195 and above feature a center rib.

General Altimax RT (Standard Touring All-Season) Warranty Rating 4.5

Optional Road Hazard Program: additional $6.00 per tire
