General Altimax Sport Tires
The General Altimax Sport is a performance and high performance, summer tire made for passenger tires and SUVs. The tread design features General’s Replacement Tire Monitor and Visual Alignment Indicator systems. This visually shows the driver whether the tread is wearing evenly and when the tire is nearing its tread life and needs to be changed.
The tread design improves controllability. The tread design improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability, enhancing the performing capability at all times. The special tread design and the footprint improve the braking distance by generating friction at the moment of braking. This combination guarantees the driver better control during the performance.
The General Altimax Sport upgrades the all weather traction. The silica-based, all season compound and the ideal tread design increase the dry, wet, and winter weather grip on the road surface. The groove pattern avoids hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. The better traction allows the tire to ease the pressure off the tire. The silica compound and the traction minimize the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure that determines the vehicle’s fuel intake levels. Lowering the rolling resistance decreases the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels, offering a fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.
- Fuel efficiencyThe silica compound decreases the rolling resistance, minimizing the fuel intake and CO2 emission levels throughout the performance.
- Wear indicatorsThe Visual Alignment Indicator and the Replacement Tire Monitor visually show the tread wear rate and when the tire needs to be changed.
- ControllabilityThe tread design and the optimal footprint improve the handling and the braking ability, increasing the driver’s control over the vehicle.
