Review your General Altimax RT43 >

In North America this is a low priced tire. I first installed RT43's on my '05 Focus then on my wife's '08 Sportage and now my Mazda. I have driven summer and winter on highways and gravelled country roads in the Ottawa region where these tires offer good all around performance in all seasons. I only use them one winter (I drive around 35-40K miles a year) then for the next two summers. The other winters, I use a Nordic winter tire (presently Nokian R3). At -30F in Northern Ontario, the tread offered poor traction but these are rare temperatures around milder Ottawa. Ice traction is adequate but no match for a good Nordic tire; the same applies for turning on snow covered roads. Summer traction could be a bit better in the wet but is sufficient and safe. The tire is relatively quiet and lasts 60-70K miles the way and where I drive. They offer great value in Canada.
