General AltiMAX HP

Was persuaded to put these on when all my existing tires were near the wear limit. Now had two suffer catastrophic sidewall failure within a few thousand miles. Sidewalls seem to be made of tissue paper! Easily the worst tire I've ever come across.

These tires offer good grip in the dry and average in the wet. They have very weak walls and I have had 4 damaged tires due to small pot holes. Very poor strength.

At the moment - good tires.
Silent, good grip in dry, on some dust, in the wet and puddle of water on the road. And even in the pouring rain.
Very good in gravel road. But not good on garden grass (a lot of wheelspin). Comfortable and easy to drive. Feedback is good, but it could be better (like Michelin, Pirelli etc.)
But the main plus is that the the full set of NEW tires (4 TYRES) costs 200 EUROS, so they are very CHEAP. For this reason, and for good grip and silent drive, I would buy them again, BUT,
I have only driven 20 000 km which is 12500 miles little over a year and tires are worn little bit too quickly. When I bought, there was 8 mm of pattern. Now there is little below 5 mm pattern. For safe use, under 3 mm I wouldn't go. So I can drive about 10 000 km (6250miles) more. So these tires last only 30 000 km/18750 miles and they are on 3 mm wear. Yes, you can drive them to 1,6mm, but this is too dangerous with rainy conditions.
They have m+s label on them, so you can use them in snowy condition too?

Good tires for those not interested in high performance tires and that has a easy going drive style.
If you are looking for a good tire that lasts very well, I think its a good choice. I used mine for 62.000km and still have rubber to do more 10.000km at least.
It has good grip on dry and curves and it could be a little bit better on wet, but nothing that bad.

Fitted by local Ford dealer as new replacements - done just under 8000 miles and they need replacing already - budget tires that really aren't worth the money.
Definitely not buying these again and not going to trust the dealership that sold them on!

Bought my tires (UHP version) and have religiously rotated at every 10000km. Currently doing 43000km. Not bad considering the treadwear indicator is only 280.
They replaced a full set of Bridgestone Turanzas that had 3mm-4mm on them. The reason being the car was very twitchy on wet roads and I definitely had no confidence on icy roads with them. That changed completely on these tires. Now before anyone says that this is an unfair comparison the tires now have 3mm in front and 2mm in the rear. They too became nervous (only in the wet with standing water) at 3mm. Otherwise I am very happy with them.

I use the car equipped with them in all conditions and now that I am getting ready to replace them will definitely consider getting another set. After all this is really a Continental subbrand that I have done over 40000km with.

As member of the NTA and a general tire dealer I was interested in sampling the Altimax on my Audi A4 TDI, having sold a number of it's big brother the Grabber. BF Goodrich came off the car and replaced all with the General. Instantly I could recognise the difference in performance with the soft side walls giving the car a very juicey feel around the bends. Performance on front is struggling to make it to 10k miles. Very close to budget quality tire and will be trying the BFG G-grip in future.

Very good tires for the price. Excellent dry and wet grip. Good resistance to impact and feedback. A bit noisy but I'd buy it again.

I can not say many bad things about these tires, When it come to buying these they were a cheaper tire compare to other tire i.e bridgestone and continental's.

Not only are they cheaper they have performed much better then any other tire i have driven on they are very good when it come's to wet weather compared to other tires mainly because of there directional pattern. Also the very good feature i like is how if your not good with telling were the wear bars are or even understanding them it has a bit of text saying "Replacement Tire Monitor" Which once wore down turn into "Replace Tire" very neat extra.

But any way back to writing about the qaulity of the tire, now sadly they havent got the best comfort in the world but to be honest it isnt to noticble but i rather and a 4 star comfort tire and a 10 star wear tire then a 10 star comfort tire and a 4 star wear tire. That the main and only draw back i can find with in these tire now i found many people call this a mid range tire to be honest place that sold them to me told me there a premium tire and i 100% agree with them. I Highly recommend people to try these as i rate the highly and will carry on buying these over many other brands as like i said it says me alot of money and i get much better tire.

Guma je srednja zalost, vise zalost nego srednja, na mokrom lose skroz koci, proklizava pri kretanju, cak i u preticanju, 2-3 brzina zna pocet proklizavati..

Tire is very bad on wet road, breaking is really poor with this tires..
