Category: All Season – Grand Touring

The General Altimax RT45 is a long-lasting, all-season grand touring tire for passenger cars and crossovers. It has responsive handling and reliable braking on wet or dry roads and utilizes Replacement Tire Monitor and Visual Alignment Indicators which aid in detecting tire wear. The Altimax RT45 provides traction year-round including light snow, low road noise, and a long tread life.

XL (Extra Load) rating supports higher inflation pressure and carrying capacity than standard load tires.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load Index 105 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 925 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.

  • UTQG 700 A A is the manufacturer treadwear, traction, and temperature grading system. It is useful for comparing tires from the same brand, but it should not be treated as an exact mileage promise.
  • All Season tires are made for mild year round driving, but they generally do not meet Quebec winter tire requirements unless they also carry 3PMS.
  • XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
