General Altimax HP Tire Review

With predictable all-season traction and reliability, the General Altimax HP tire was developed for sporty year round driving in all types of weather conditions. A Silica tread compound inside a Twin Cushion Tread gives this tire solid traction and more smooth ride.

This grand touring tire also features some nice extras to extend the life of the tire. Visual Alignment Indicators are built into the shoulder blocks of the tire to show you precisely where any treadwear issues are located.

General Tire has also included Replacement Tire Monitor Technology into the Altimax HP in the center rib or the tire. It allows you to visually see when the tread has worn down to the point of needing replacement.

Price Range

The General Altimax HP ranges in price from around $65 for a 185/60R14 to above $130 for a 225/40R18.
