9. General Tire
General Tire is in fact a division of the German-based Continental Company. A few years ago, General Tire launched an all-purpose tire, the Altimax. To the surprise of many, this tire, now known as the Altimax RT43, has carved out an solid place for itself on the market.
Considered an affordable tire, the Altimax RT43 is still available in two versions: a basic version for 13- to 18-inch wheels with a T speed rating, and a higher performance version with H and V speed ratings for 14- to 20-inch wheels.
