General 235/65R16 103T GENERAL ALTIMAX RT45 BW

Great tires, low road noise, good on highway and rougher roads. Great in the rain. Look pretty nice too. No defects on any of the 4 I ordered for my 04 corolla. Best value for money for that car and similar models.

What a difference in the ride. So quiet. Really like the wear warning in the center tread. Great idea!

I have a 25 Subaru Ascent. The original tires only lasted 20k. I checked Consumer Reports & Tire Rack for info. These get great reviews and I think they’re made in 🇺🇸 USA. I got them mounted & balanced at a local shop. So far, they ride & steer great. Also good in rain & snow. The tread looks meaty with a lot of siping & blocks which is good for traction. These also have beefy rim protection protruding out. We live in the mtns. These are great all season tires. 👍🏻

These 5-rib Altimax RT45 tires made steering more responsive and road noise reduced compared to the 4-rib tires that came on the 2007 Cobalt I got used in June 2025. These tires ride amazingly comfortable. I have had this model on my Subaru Outback Limited 3.0R, and they were the best on road tires I have had on a Subaru, as good as stock tires in the limited dirt trails and sand I took it in so far. I expect to not need dedicated winter tires this year, because my experience with this model on a few cars has made me pick them as default now that I can't get the original Kelly Explorer or Explorer II models anymore. These General brand tires are just as good in all conditions as the Kelly/Goodyear ones I just mentioned. These are my new go-to. Traction, treadlife, and steering response are all very good.

Let me start off by saying that the build, quality and ride of these tires is very good. I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS with 175k on it. I added 75k of those mile since about mid-June of 2023 to present. I live near the north-central Illinois / Wisconsin border and commute to Schaumburg, IL for work. Round trip that's 150 miles PER DAY and 95% of those miles are highway with cruise control locked @ 80MPH. After swapping out a set of Continental True Contact Tour All Season tires in mid-December of 2024 for these RT45s, I was shocked that I lost about 15-20% in fuel economy right out of the gate. The Continental True Contacts that I had on before I swapped in the new RT45s were almost down to 2/32s tread depth and certainly gave me their rated 65k worth of mileage. At 80mph, I would average around 36-38mpg solid with the Continental True Contacts. With the RT45s, that MPG plummeted to between 27-29mpg. I thought they just needed broken in so I gave them a few thousand miles to break in. After nearly 4000 miles, the 27-29mpg was stubbornly sticking and I knew that the tires were the problem. I bought the RT45s because they're rated at 75k miles and I needed as much life out of a tire as I can get with the distance I drive daily. But with losing that much MPG, I was refueling about 3 times a week as opposed to 2 times with my previous Continental tires. After reaching out to General Tire about the issue, they told me I was within the 45-day return period and, even though I bought them from Amazon, they refunded me 100% of my payment and had me go through partner Discount Tire to get a replacement in the General Tire brand of tires. Since the Continental True Contacts were no longer being made, they offered me the slightly more expensive Continental True Contact 54. My MPG has mostly returned to around 34-35mpg now after around 1.5k miles of use and I am back to refueling 2 times a week. I am not knocking General as a company or Tire brand as I had previously had RT43s in early October, 2016 and mid-October 2018 so I must have been happy enough to have bought those twice before. They honored their warranty and kept their promise so 5 stars for that and the warranty return process through Discount Tire. But these RT45s? I don't know if it's the tire formulation or what but I would avoid these for your 2013 Elantra GLS. I likely paid more in refueling my car in the 30 or so days I had them than it would have cost me to find the remaining set of reliable Continental True Contacts that might have been still out there for sale. Don't be lured by the 75k tread life warranty like I was because of my specific longevity needs. They just didn't work out well in my vehicle's case.

Nice basic tire, easy balance says well made.

I like these well enough that I recently bought my third set that have been on three different cars. They handle well for my style of driving, have decent bad weather traction, and reasonable noise levels. For the price, they have been real good tires. I have had them on two different GMC Terrains and a Saturn Aura.

The RTs are great tires at a reasonable price. They provide a nice stable ride, good handling and they are quiet. This is our first set of RT-45s. We have three sets of RT-43s on our other vehicles and have never had any issues with quality or wear.
